Farnam Street on luck on higher rise over deliberate practice

“If you’re aiming at expertise or just really good performance, deliberate practice will most likely get you there. 

But the higher you rise, the more luck and randomness end up mattering. However much you engage in deliberate practice, you can’t control the chance events (good or bad) that dictate a great deal of life”
