I know of many great leaders and bosses who make more mistakes than anyone else in the street but the different is how they overcome it and better themselves from the experience learn. They dare to fail and focus on end result instead of temporary setback. Many successful people have more story to tell on their mistake learn than the luck that they have.

Conclusion is that Leader can be make and also getting rich can be without luck. Why I say so is because Lincoln is one of the most unlucky person I know and became a great leader! With born leadership and good luck just accelerate your success but not necessary sustain your success. To sustain success is almost always a result of a good "system" or believe system.

To improve the believe system is about an open mind and dare to fail attitude which is also commonly know as AQ - Adversity Quotient. Be humble to ask and read a lot to learn from others will help to shorten the learning curve.

Another good example is that having good brain in terms of IQ will not help in success if the EQ and AQ is low. With high AQ, EQ and IQ will definitely ensure success, but all the Q can be develop just need time. Some are faster learner, some are slower or some are not willing to learn. Success can happen in young age, in middle age, and even old age like the KFC story, and the key reason of happening at different stage is when you start learning that success is not a matter of Luck or IQ.

So break away from the myth that Luck is important and always envy others but not doing anything to improve.
