Luck playing role in career
Acknowledge how much luck has to do with your career. Don't believe in people’s perspective of success. Sayings like „luck is where opportunity meets preparation” (Seneca) and „luck, like a Russian car, generally only works if you push it” (Tom Holt) sound great but untrue. Luck is blind and has nothing to do with what you think or do. Just go for what you like and want to pursue. Remember flattering your boss and keep an alternate career plan handy. Be a little bit of a fatalist.
