Recently someone noted about the Japanese and then the Germans that they were just lucky about their early successes, well, this for me is just another oversimplification that is just wrong. We looked at the German side already. So in this video Justin Pyke (MA) and I address this whole issue in a little more detail with some very specific examples for the US Side as well. Definitions of Luck: “Success or failure apparently brought by chance rather than through one's own actions.” “Luck Is What Happens When Preparation Meets Opportunity."
