Just being aware of the question is worthwhile.

And, once again, I appreciate your detailed answer. Sorry for not getting back to you sooner but biz is getting a little hectic lately.

With regards to luck, I prefer to consider the "luck" part of luck to be "random chance".
I agree that being aware and prepared for random chance improves the odds of a person being "lucky".
I've read your CEO article before (you posted it back in 1999?) and I think that level 5 CEO's were merely being humble when they credited their, er the company success, to luck. Humility is definetely an attribute of top-notch CEO's. IMO, luck more likely applies to Level 1 CEO's that just happen to be in the right place at the right time than it does to those that reach Level 5 status.

Not assigning fault and the relation to forgiveness. - (brettj) - (9) - Nov. 10, 2001, 09:39:32 AM EST

I think you missed my point - (ben_tilly) - (8) - Nov. 10, 2001, 01:50:57 PM EST

Karma? - (Ashton) - (2) - Nov. 11, 2001, 05:09:50 PM EST

Which type of karma? - (ben_tilly) - (1) - Nov. 11, 2001, 08:18:57 PM EST

Between the two, the latter. - (Ashton) - Nov. 12, 2001, 05:39:14 AM EST

Compassionate feelings that support a willingness to forgive - (brettj) - (4) - Nov. 11, 2001, 07:40:46 AM EST

Another incentive for developing that - (Ashton) - Nov. 11, 2001, 03:28:45 PM EST

Yes, that occurred to me, too. - (static) - (2) - Nov. 12, 2001, 10:18:09 PM EST

Maybe that's the real question? Who needs forgiveness more? - (brettj) - (1) - Nov. 13, 2001, 09:18:05 PM EST

I think that is situational. - (static) - Nov. 13, 2001, 09:42:31 PM EST
