Do you feel lucky punk?

The success of the Numa Numa video was based on luck. The tune is catchy but the song isn’t even in English. The “actor” certainly isn’t a stud and the quality of the video is pretty bad. Why was this video a success? Luck.

We all need a little luck to help us succeed. It doesn’t matter how skillful or hardworking we are; luck is an essential ingredient for success.

You may start listing famous companies and individuals and try to convince me that they did it all through sweat and/or skill, but I’d disagree with you in each and every case that this was the deciding factor. Luck played a hand in each and every one of those successes.

Of course we have to remember the famous quote by Gary Player the great South African golfer: “The harder I work, the luckier I get.”
