More From Maria Sharapova

People really don't like to hear success explained away as luck — especially successful people. as they age, and succeed, people feel their success was somehow inevitable. they don't want to acknowledge the role played by accident in their lives. there is a reason for this: the world does not want to acknowledge it either. if you use better data, you can find better values; there are always market inefficiencies to exploit, and so on. but it has a broader and less practical message: don't be deceived by life's outcomes. life's outcomes, while not entirely random, have a huge amount of luck baked into them. above all, recognize that if you have had success, you have also had luck — and with luck comes obligation.
