Here's the Automated Transcript:
00:00
does luck exist
00:04
uh sure
00:07
but not how most people think about it
00:09
the way most people see it i think is
00:11
wrong i think most people look at
00:12
oh i'm just unlucky or that person's so
00:14
lucky you know elon musk is so lucky or
00:16
whoever is so lucky
00:17
i see luck more as i didn't get hit by a
00:20
car today when i went for my walk
00:21
outside with nina
00:24
there wasn't some crazy drunk driver who
00:26
you know i didn't see coming
00:28
and and ran over me right um
00:32
that's what i see more as luck than
00:33
anything business
00:35
related you know what there you go
00:39
i the only thing i know about luck is
00:41
this i mean i can't
00:42
i don't really believe in luck but i
00:44
believe in skills
00:46
that you make things happen but i did i
00:48
do remember i do remember
00:49
acronym i i i i saw years ago
00:53
never forget it l-u-c-k stood for
00:56
laboring
00:56
under correct knowledge
01:00
laboring under correct knowledge
01:04
but i just i believe i believe there's
01:06
no luck i believe
01:08
ah maybe i don't know i just believe in
01:11
i mean you can see the whole thing is
01:13
just statistics and probabilities right
01:15
i mean the
01:15
maybe i do uh get run over by a car
01:18
or something you know and that's just
01:20
the statistics but if you have the right
01:21
skills you can jump out of the way if
01:23
you have if you have the right if
01:24
someone give you an alert or if you had
01:26
a spidey stance or you just said like oh
01:28
something's you know you can
01:30
so it's that lucky skill jumped out of
01:32
the way or you just avoided it all
01:33
together
01:34
uh sure i mean sure
01:40
but i mean maybe maybe there's some
01:43
maybe a moon rock blows up
01:45
and and you know destroys my entire city
01:48
i mean
01:48
yeah bad luck yeah but it's all
01:51
probabilities
01:53
it's just a super low likelihood that
01:55
it's gonna that that's gonna happen so i
01:56
don't spend my time
01:58
worrying about it yeah
02:01
and here's the other thing too i guess
02:03
the one reason i don't believe in too
02:04
much luck is because i like feel like
02:05
i'm in control of my destiny i'm in
02:07
control of
02:08
what happens and what doesn't happen to
02:09
me now are there some
02:11
element of luck there it could be yeah
02:13
but in my mind
02:14
right you got to think um when people
02:18
rely on lucky someone's like well i
02:20
don't have to really do anything and it
02:21
just
02:22
comes to me it just it would just happen
02:24
i'm like no you have to go out and make
02:25
it happen
02:26
well and how does how does luck serve
02:29
you
02:30
so you might you might feel like you've
02:32
been dealt an unlucky hand okay
02:34
now what just give up
02:39
what are you so you believe in luck or
02:41
not what does that change the
02:43
output that you you put in now
02:46
are you going to stop working are you
02:48
going to focus he said i work hard but
02:50
most of the times i get unlucky
02:53
oh well see that's a problem that's a
02:55
that's that's not true
02:56
you're not unlucky you might be working
02:58
hard that's great you'd have to work
03:00
smart
03:00
both so in that context
03:04
no it's not luck it's you use the wrong
03:07
strategy the wrong technique you're on
03:08
time
03:12
this is really important to to get
