Not accounting for luck as a factor of success is one of my pet peeves.
I'm reading "So good they can't ignore you" and although I'm loving it, it's also guilty of that.
Cal Newport tells the story of a Clean Tech VC and how he got the job using a personal connection to VC. But then he dismisses it by saying that "such small breaks are relatively common".
Why is it so hard to admit that someone success is partially due to luck?
