luck harvesting
"luck/fortune" have an overwhelming role in our "success"
ex. the birth lottery
maximizing "success" may look like "good luck harvesting"
what does that look like in practise?
pursue the best opportunities available to you, rather than trying to force something?
"try to do your best with what you've been given"
"play the cards you've been dealt"
even stretching this to the definition of entrepreneurship
"relentless pursuit of opportunity without regard to resources currently controlled"
relentless -> as much effort as you can reasonably muster, (can't muster more!)
opportunity -> those opportunities you can reasonably identify
uncontrolled resources -> expand your thinking beyond what you currently have
because, ostensibly, you have the ability to borrow money, get investment, recruit others, etc. etc.
humans are bad at exponential growth projection
over-imagine what can be done in 1 year, under-imaging what can be done in 10
in many set-ups, say, startups, "you can't win, if you don't play", and there are winners, but, doesn't mean that it's the best overall strategy
