A million blind squirrels

Article link: A million blind squirrels

In this article, Seth writes about an old idiom: "Even a blind squirrel finds an acorn now and then." He says that, "You shouldn't pick your strategy by modeling someone else's success. The success might have been strategic and planned, but it's just as likely to be a matter of blind luck. Someone had to get that big deal, and this time it was [that squirrel]."

I find this to be very realistic, but scary at the same time. It's realistic, because not everyone gets "their big break," and at the same time, that's scary, because what if I'm not the "lucky squirrel"?
