More From James Frey

People really don't like to hear success explained away as luck — especially successful people. as they age, and succeed, people feel their success was somehow inevitable. they don't want to acknowledge the role played by accident in their lives. there is a reason for this: the world does not want to acknowledge it either. if you use better data, you can find better values; there are always market inefficiencies to exploit, and so on. but it has a broader and less practical message: don't be deceived by life's outcomes. life's outcomes, while not entirely random, have a huge amount of luck baked into them. above all, recognize that if you have had success, you have also had luck — and with luck comes obligation.
Successful People Luck
The big thing is, everybody says it's being in the right place at the right time. but it's more than that, it's being in the right place all the time. because if i make 20 runs to the near post and each time i lose my defender, and 19 times the ball goes over my head or behind me - then one time i'm three yards out, the ball comes to the right place and i tap it in - then people say, right place, right time. and i was there *all* the time.

The key thing for a ceo to keep their head in the game is recognize that there's turbulent times, plan for, you know, bad luck as well as good luck, keep people focused on what the key, you know, business wins are, and you know, provide the energy that people always need in order to, you know, to go into battle because, you know, work is hard and go into work and do that well. and provide a good leadership beacon for that. in other words, it's the same thing that makes good leadership in any other time.
Good Luck Winning Keys
Above all, he liked it that everything was one's own fault. there was only oneself to praise or blame. luck was a servant and not a master. luck had to be accepted with a shrug or taken advantage of up to the hilt. but it had to be understood and recognized for what it was and not confused with a faulty appreciation of the odds, for, at gambling, the deadly sin is to mistake bad play for bad luck. and luck in all its moods had to be loved and not feared
Love Appreciation Mistake

The unhappy person resents it when you try to cheer him up, because that means he has to stop dwelling on himself and start paying attention to the universe. unhappiness is the ultimate form of self-indulgence. when you're unhappy, you get to pay a lot of attention to yourself. you get to take yourself oh so very seriously.
Love Dream Cheer
It's not all about love. that's half of it... the other half is about that moment you have with yourself when you're looking in the mirror, and you just go, 'oh man. i'm going to compromise my dreams, get fat, sick, old and die someday. i kind of want to have someone around for that.'
