Why didn't they call someone else?

Why did they call you?

Because you had done all sorts of things to set the stage that you were the obvious person for them to call.

If you had been a jerk, if you hadn't been good at your job, they would never have called you.

Well, that's probably true.

Because if you're thinking you're a lucky person, what you're doing is you're probably opening your eyes and looking for luck.

You're looking for opportunities.

Right.

If you think you're unlucky, you're going to be, you know, keeping your eyes closed and, you know, putting your earbuds in.

You know, it's funny.

I walk around campus and I see all these people walking.

wearing headphones and earbuds and staring at their phone.

And I think this is the most unlucky thing you could possibly do.

You are walking around without engaging with other people.

You have now missed a thousand opportunities.

That every single day, all those people you pass who you didn't smile with, you didn't have a conversation, and then you say, you're lonely.

Well, gee, you just walked through life in a way that you didn't engage with anyone who could have been your next best friend.

Super.

Thanks so much, Mike.

Have a super day.
