Learn to be lucky

Are you one of those people who trivialise the success of so-called instant millionaires - those who receive a windfall due to some "lucky" discovery?

Take J. K. Rowling for example. She was once a single mother living in near-poverty. Then, she wrote some books that became a hit with children, and all of a sudden she's richer than the Queen. Lucky? I don't know if I completely buy that.

I don't know if I buy the idea that "luck" makes you write a book. Luck certainly played a role in the success of the books, but most people would have already given up by this stage. Instead, J. K. Rowling - a single mother living off government benefits at the time - made a commitment to write a story. She dared to dream, even if it was just a little bit. And it was enough to make her write.

On the other hand, most people would have said to themselves by now: "I'm no book writer, I'll just leave it to the experts." Well, you only become one by beginning.

Have the vision to succeed, and the luck will follow.
