This is a YouTube video titled "I Got Lucky In Life | YouTube Short" containing a monologue from May 18, 2023, where a single speaker reflects on the role of luck, hard work, and perseverance in personal success, emphasizing that despite effort, outcomes are not guaranteed.
I don't believe that we are without luck. One, I'm lucky to be born in a western country. I'm lucky that I was born with really good parents who loved me and treated me super well overall. Like, I'm a lucky person. Now, I work extremely hard and I have a high level of conviction and I do all the things that are required, but the circumstances around who made me that are serendipitous. You know, one of the things I always say in sales calls is that there's no guarantees. Like, that's the thing. You can do everything perfectly in life and you can be born the best sprinter. Your parents treat you like Tiger woods, and from three years old you're in bikes doing these ones. But then you can get to the big show. Look to your left and it's the same bolt. You're going to lose, bro, because he's the goat. You can do everything right and still fail. Don't think that's an excuse to not try. I think I've been lucky. I think I've worked very hard and failed enough and kept trying enough to become lucky.
