Luck

I was listening to Colin Cowherd the other day on the radio, and he brought up an interesting point about people who try to attribute the successes of others to luck. To paraphrase, Cowherd said something to the effect of:

-paraphrase-

Luck is a word made up by people who want to validate their mediocrity. There is no such thing as luck in a long-term sense. You have about 6 chances to make real decisions every day. If you make 4 or 5 good ones, you'll be in good shape. Anything less than that, and you'll find yourself in trouble.

-end paraphrase-

Before I heard this, I was at work, bored and hoping the day would hurry the hell up so I could go home. But when I heard the word "luck", I began listening carefully. I've always been fascinated by people who genuinely believe in "luck". People that believe "luck" is an actual attribute that a person can have. I agree with Colin here.
