Been watching a lot of documentaries on this lately, very interesting stuff.
You can't have one without the other often times. Like the guy who gets to the highest stakes on 10 buyin brm, then loses it all. "Well if only he had stopped there!" Doesn't usually apply to those types.
I'm not familiar with Hitler's early strategies, but if they were anything like his later strategies, he probably just got really lucky early on.
I mean, hard to argue that anyone with so much influence over the world isn't just a pretty lucky person to have that much influence.
Look at the guy that ran Silk Road. Now that the stories came out of how he got in trouble, the guy kind of looks like a huge idiot. George W. Bush is another example. The mayor of Toronto. Dozens of other people in leadership roles around the world, it's obvious they aren't so much "better" and smarter than everyone else, just fortunate/run good.
