For me, it’s not bad luck, it’s bad decisions.

Luck isn't random. It's engineered.

Scott Adams breaks down how to get lucky:
�� Expect luck to happen
�� Go where the energy is
�� Network rigorously
�� Stack skills
�� Gain experience
�� Keep trying stuff
�� Fail forward
�� Try some long shots

@ScottAdamsSays
"If you give yourself this many opportunities for luck to find you, luck's gonna find you."

The most expensive ticket thread reminded me of the kind of luck I have, again noting that both good and bad happenstances apply. This one was in my favor.


Most expensive for me was Roger Waters doing The Wall back in 2010. $300 for two tickets for stage left, other words, seats that suck. 2 weeks before the concert I got an email that my tickets had been moved, pick them up at the concert. No other details.

Turns out I and my friend got moved to second row center stage. If I had a broom handle I could have tapped Roger on many occasions during the show which was phenomenal and even better than when I got to talk with Waters during a Radio KAOS concert, that was otherworldly.
