Next time you find yourself driving your car, with your seat belt buckled, think about how you got there. Hopefully, it is just an automatic motion that you do without thinking. And someday, it could save your life. Occasionally, people are able to take a shortcut to success. It does happen, but it is not a reliable path to success.
Many people spend their whole lives just waiting for that lucky break.
Buying those lottery tickets week after week, and never, ever winning. You don't hear about those people very often. They live lives of quiet desparation. They never end up being in the right place at the right time. That is unfortunate.
