Be Smart To Be Luckier

My roommate would hardly ever prepare for exams, just do a night-out (study all night) before exams from my notes, leave out complete chapters and manage a decent 65%!

Lucky? No. Smart! She zeroed in on the right notes to read, had the sense to drop the non-payers and concentrate on the correct stuff.

Somewhere, the line between luck and smartness is thin and merges. What we see as being born luck is a sort of skill in focussing on getting the most out of life with the least expenditure of  resources.
