good luck is a bad thing

dont be happy when you are lucky .. good fortune is irritating .. it never reveals the true pitfalls that lie ahead, it doesnt help you callibrate your effort/return of investment, it causes an overwhelming sense of guilt of getting undeserved success, its a blinding opiate that hides the true troubles

What was the piece of good luck? :)

nice try said...

rather petty incident .. guessing right in minesweeper to get a good score :-) .. i shall not let the triviality of the data take away the profundity of the hypothesis though!
