I'm not sure we reap the rewards of hard work and that randomness plays a more important role in our lives than we know. There are times when I have done my best and pleased with my choices and the award I thought possible does not come and other times it seems luck is on my side just because I'm in the right spot at the right time. I'm wondering if the best we can do with a life time of choices is to cross the curves 50% mark and land on 51%. In the rule of large numbers that is success.
