This piece hits on the idea you can cultivate luck. It's about increasing your 'Luck Surface Area' (L = D x T: Luck = Doing x Telling).
My notes/ points that stood out for me:
- Actively seek diverse social, intellectual, and professional interactions. Each one expands your surface area for serendipity. TAKE MORE SHOTS!
- Don't go into interactions with an agenda. Real interest opens doors unexpected.
- Always aim for excellence. Even in small tasks. People notice this. A strong reputation pulls in opportunity.
- Give before you take. Offer attention, time, or resources without expecting immediate return. That builds high trust relationships.
- Share your authentic self. Put your unique thoughts out there. It's a magnet for those who truly resonate with you. Don't fake it.
- Host stuff. Simple, low pressure events work best. Taking the initiative to create connections is often more effective than just showing up.
