    Well, some people are just lucky. It's a matter of fact.

    Donald Trumps kids are lucky that their father is rich. The person who dies at 29 from an un-diagnosed brain clot isn't lucky.

    You know, the transcript of Obama's speech is online, you don't have to rely on highly biased 'interpretations' of what he said. You could read it yourself.

    I was actually making a reference to a friend of mine who lost his wife a month after she gave birth.

    Luck does play a small part in successful people. But it also takes hard work, determination, responsibility, ambition, strength, sacrifice etc. So if thats really what he said, its foolish. I dont trust the media though. Would need to see a video of him saying it to get the context.

    It's just the same idiotic shit that they said when they claimed he said people "didn't build it".

    They know exactly what he said, and they know exactly why they worded it the way they did. they'd get a reaction out of knuckle draggers, mouth breathers and morons.

    Come on julius, don't hide behind the mouth breather label. Enlighten us about what the hell the man thinks he knows.

    I don't think a successful design has fucking thing to do with luck.

    ? you do realize I'm talking about the people who make a big stink about anything he says, misquote him, misrepresent what he says/does in order to get a response from the people with the characteristics I listed, right?

    I'm not talking about what he (Obama) thinks.
    you're using a very narrow definition of "luck".

    knowing the right person is lucky. getting a teacher who inspires you can be luck. having a parent who can afford to bail you out of jail/save your butt when you do something stupid is luck.

    And if you are correct, that is a ridiculous thing to tell people. Your life hinges on luck, if you have success you are lucky. If you have a hard time it's not your fault, your just unlucky. Geez, that is really ignoring the work the individual must do, lucky enough to be inspired or not. Work, study and then more is the way. I don't even see what he gets out of saying stuff like this now. Before his second term, he got votes. Who does this help now?

    You should really educate yourself about what he did say, instead of ranting about what you were told he said.

    I agree with a lot of his statement. There are people who by no fault of their own, will never succeed by societies standards for a number of circumstances. Bad Timing, Lack of Education, Mental Illness, No Social Skills.... you name it. For every person that succeeds in life, there are thousands that don't. Success is provided as much by the the labor of those who fail as by individual accomplishment. That's why empathy is so important. And to define your value of success by your own standards and rules.
