The secret of my success


Success has three Secrets. Many people may call them luck, but I don't think it is.

The first Secret is called "being in the right place at the right time". Now, some people call this luck, but what it really means is that you have to go a whole lot of places. Most of them are wrong places and likely to be boring. So, to pass the time, try to figure out why other people think this particular event may be interesting, at least it will kill the time.

The second Secret is "good timing". Again, a lot of people call this luck but it isn't just luck. It means making connections. Now, since you have gone to so many places (Secret #1), and, if you listened to all of those stories, by this time you should be pretty good at connecting things. 

The third Secret is luck. And that is just ..., plain luck.
