David Perell is a fellow learning nerd (my words, not his) who writes an excellent newsletter called Friday Finds.

In it, he recently linked to a thought-provoking article called Why Winners Keep Winning that explains something I think we intuitively know, but don’t necessarily understand.

And while it’s true that momentum is something we can build, and we can often amplify our successes by continuing our efforts, I’m grateful the author acknowledged that luck is a factor we can’t ignore.
