On chance and intelligence : how much of our success can we chalk up to innate ability, and how much to random luck? / Carlos Fuentes

Sumario: Little attention is given to the role that chance plays in business and personal lives. Generally, those who are successful ascribe their accomplishments to personal qualities whereas those who fail see external, uncontrollable factors as the forces that prevented them from achieving their goals. These views are oversimplifications, often misleading. It is certainly not true that discipline, perseverance, planning, intelligence, and talent guarantee triumphs, although they make them more likely. Conversely, individuals who lack these traits sometimes are successful. This is a fact of life borne by observation
