Death Player Luck

More From Michael Douglas

Steve jobs has a saying that a players hire a players; b players hire c players; and c players hire d players. it doesn't take long to get to z players. this trickle-down effect causes bozo explosions in companies.
Jobs Player Long
Good people hire people better than themselves. so a players hire a+ players. but others hire below their skills to make themselves look good. so b players hire c players. c players hire d players, etc.
Player Skills People
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.

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
When i started 70 odd years ago i was told that to be a success you've got to have talent, personality and luck. i've had 99.9 percent luck and the other miniscule percentage would be having had the luck to have a little bit of talent, being able to stand upright and that's it. it's all luck.
