		Podgajski on Jan 14, 2024 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: How to Be More Agentic I’m not calling him lucky, he called himself lucky. I literally just showed you the quote where he said he was lucky. I’m not demeaning his agency everything is written but if he wasn’t lucky, we wouldn’t be able to read anything he wrote about his experience.

Great! You've circled your way around to agreeing with me.

A man in the most unlucky circumstances looked for the ways in which he was indeed lucky, and then went on to turn that into a good outcome.

Pure agency. Luck had nothing to do with it.
