Unfortunately those who subscribe to that philosopy are mostly losers.
Once you wait for that accidental pot of gold you are not going to strive as hard as you could have in your real work or vocation. Never mind the statistics stacked against you.

Subscribing to this philosophy does not mean going out and buying a toto ticket every day.
It means having the initiative and courage to continue looking for new jobs and niches even if you are comfortable in your job, it means exploring a side business or going into business full time, it means asking that girl outside of your league out for a date.
And it means having the persistence to do so repeatedly even though you are consistently knocked back, each time sitting back to strategize how things went wrong and how you can better position your next advance.
The easiest thing in the world is to sit in your comfort zone, work hard at one job and hope that your boss will recognize your efforts and reward you. This is not school where if you work hard you can get full marks in a test with a controlled environment.
This is the real world where you need to have the courage and initiative to try what others won't, otherwise you will always be getting the results that others get - average.
