Some people do not believe in luck. I happen to think "luck" is a very important thing to believe in.
Much of success or failure in life depends on being able to identify which opportunities have come your way through merit and which ones have come your way by pure chance. You must react to these two differently.
Because if an opportunity comes your way through luck and you delude yourself into believing that you somehow earned that opportunity, I can almost guarantee that you will fuck it up. And then you will never get another chance like that again.
You see, an opportunity come by from merit, you can afford to waste. With a little grit, you can re-create those circumstances. But luck, nah.
You see, that's my problem with women. In my life, I've lucked out a few times and ended up in relationship with women who should, by all rational calculations, be out of my league.
As a negative consequence of this, I have standards far higher than someone of my looks, personality, and income has any right to have.
For me to want to date someone, she must be thin and blonde with a personality comparable to Tallulah Bankhead.
However, someone who fit all my criteria would have to be insane to want to date me. And if they were insane, then I wouldn't want to date them anymore.
