subject: Luck and Smart Effort Go Together [print this page] Everyone must have a grip on reality for it to work for them. To make a living, you must make reality work for you no matter what, consistency and persistence is the key, and the smart effort I just mentioned in the whole article is a law. Now to end in a lighthearted way, I hope this article was good for you as it was for me, because reality at first gives all minds a "cold shower" and then it gets good and warm and we all get clean, clear and honest. When I say, all minds, I include mine also, that is why I say that "we all" near the end of the last sentence if you caught it before you read this. Reality comes down to our thinking, acting and generating, no matter what. Only weak people shun consistency and persistence, but strong people work the work and walk the talk. That is what it comes down to. My article saying that genuine luck is not chance, but good human feeling combined with smart human effort and achievement may seem like ridiculous advice, but it is the reality of the situation. Take or leave, it is what it is.
