More From Ralph Waldo Emerson

Shallow men believe in luck, believe in circumstances: it was somebody's name, or he happened to be there at right time, or it was so then, and another day it would have been otherwise. strong men believe in cause and effect.
Strength Strong Believe
Self-sacrifice is the real miracle out of which all the reported miracles grow. do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail. nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm. this time, like all times, is a very good one, if we but know what to do with it. shallow men believe in luck. strong men believe in cause and effect. the louder he talked of his honesty, the quicker we counted the silverware.
Strong Honesty Real
Things worthwhile generally don’t just happen. luck is a fact, but should not be a factor. good luck is what is left over after intelligence and effort have combined at their best. negligence or indifference are usually reviewed from an unlucky seat. the law of cause and effect and causality both work the same with inexorable exactitudes. luck is the residue of design.

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
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.

The successful are those who have been given opportunities.
Successful Opportunity Presence Of Mind
If a psychological maxwell devises a general theory of mind, he may make it possible for a psychological einstein to follow with a theory that the mental and the physical are really the same. but this could happen only at the end of a process which began with the recognition that the mental is something completely different from the physical world as we have come to know it through a certain highly successful form of detached objective understanding. only if the uniqueness of the mental is recognized will concepts and theories be devised especially for the purpose of understanding it.
Successful Understanding Mind
Being successful at a very young age gave me the confidence and the capability to try out other things.

Greg maddux is probably the best pitcher in all of baseball along with roger clemens. he's much more intelligent than i am because he doesn't have a 95 or 98 mph fastball. i would tell any pitcher who wants to be successful to watch him, because he's the true definition of a pitcher.
