>1. They knew what they liked really early.
By early on I lost all my passions for shit because I realized I was retarded and shit at absolutely everything I tried. That, along with only negative reinforcement from parents and peers telling me I was bad at everything I tried which only further ruined any passion or aspirations I had.
>2. They worked a fuckton.
Not even gonna try to lie, I'm a lazy idiot with no motivation or drive to do anything; I can hardly even focus for longer than a few minutes.

I guess being a robot prevents you from being successful.

in this case the word "work" is a mysterious euphemism for something else in which we have no idea what it means.

i agree with point number 1. you need to find your shit, your career, your skill early, as in some time in your 20s.

i knew i wanted to farm at an early age. i tried growing marijuana, succeeded at that. but now both of those have been hijacked by the state if you haven't noticed.

maybe you haven't seen one of the billion documentaries on farming, but lets just say it ain't what it used to be.

Disproving your point:
>female fashion vloggers
>female vidya streamers
>females on patreon
>female camwhores
Unless you count "being female" as knowing what you want to do from an early age and count "being female constantly" as working a fuck ton to be that thing

No shit. Heres more

>Have an attractive face. People will automatically like the way you look and treat you better.
>Have a comfortable amount of money so that you never struggle

>m not kidding, everyone who's world class at something knew what they wanted at age 6 and has been working 100 hours a week at it for at least a decade.

Yeah, they totally wouldn't lie to appear better than they are, right?

I mean, look at all those millionare chinese who work 100 hours a week for a cent per hour.

to be honest, luck is number 1

when you get a wave of good luck, you have to ride it and hope you reach the other side before the tide goes out

your skill will contribute greatly, but the initial push is luck and chance. to be truly lucky is the best and most powerful asset someone could ever have

Well I listed two factors for a reason. 100 hours a week of work with bottom decile luck isn't gonna turn a shit sandwich into a horde of gold and diamonds. But I'd say if you combine factor 1 that I listed with the 100 hours a week of work, you'd be doing pretty well. Of course luck, looks, social skills and everything else will factor into this shit to. I'm just trying to simplify the whole thing down to the two most important factors.

Luck is an extremely vague and slippery concept. In a certain sense, literally everything that happens in your life is luck; in another sense, almost nothing is luck.

You can say that 'everything in life is luck' using this simple argument: your birth circumstances are luck, and they determine just about everything.

You can say that 'nothing in life is luck' using this simple argument: everything has a cause, and you're the only long run common denominator in your life.

Both arguments are valid, even though they're arguing opposite sides of an issue. The reason this is possible is because a key term in the question at hand ("how much of your life outcomes are a product of luck?") is vague. It may be defined dozens of different ways.

There was some british show that studied luck.
TL;DW of it is that people who consider themselves unlucky never took chances and didn't notice things in their surroundings that could benefit them.
People who consider themselves lucky did the opposite, they always took chances and were paying attention to their surroundings.

You make your own luck.
