I disagree with the article's contention that where, when, who we are is a matter of luck. I believe the where, when and who are a matter of choices of our ancestors going back to the beginning of time.

Success = the accomplishment of an aim or a purpose

Luck = results by chance rather than through one's own actions

By those definitions, determination, hard work, planning, timing, luck and choice may or may not be factors of a result but none guarantee success.

Success is a state of mind. What I deem a success, you may not.


long ago, choices
shaped my circumstance, I choose
what to do with it
