  • Guys, I’m embarrassed but I got to ask: can someone explain how it should be understood?

    No, I’m not making fun of it. I legitimately don’t understand it and I would like to.

    From the other comments I get it’s something about video calls at home and maybe people yelling while on them? I’m confused because the guy walking on the horse is also relevant (perhaps in minding his business and being disturbed by others yelling)?


  • A person once told me that in life you need to learn to be lucky. When I asked him how to learn that he replied that you need to want to be lucky. And that’s it.

    He was very serious and, to some extent, I think he wasn’t saying something crazy (and in fact he’s been very successful in his life, without resorting to help from others).

    I think he meant we make our own luck: we work as hard as possible to create several occasions and maybe we screw lots of them but, if we try, try again, we can seize some of them.

    I suppose the message really was: you need to be persistent. If you’re so dedicated, you end up grabbing some opportunities you didn’t even know existed (but you kind of created)

    Thanks for coming to my TED talk… Be lucky!
