A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Yeah mixture of both, wouldn't you agree?
Sometimes you can get far by just being lucky.
Sometimes you can get far by just working hard.
You're most likely to get far by working hard and being lucky.
You can still not get anywhere even when you work hard.
Strong economies create more opportunities which means your luck factor doesn't have to be as high.
Definitely a mixture of both, but the one thing I guarantee is if you sit around doing nothing, that's exactly all you'll ever attain.
