PSY's Gangnam Style success is phenomenal. People started to ask whether Singapore could ever produce a PSY.
It sets me thinking - when do you say someone is lucky? When do you say someone is gifted or talented?
I think the test is whether that someone can produce 'consistent results' or not.
If Mr. Sim Mong Hoo produced a soundcard that sold like hotcakes, and launched Creative Technology into a successful tech company, he may be just lucky. If he can repeat that success with another product, another 3 products, then he is talented.
If Warren Buffet makes a lot of money, ONCE, by choosing the right investments, he is just lucky. If he consistently do it over many years and many times, he is gifted and a true guru.
If PSY can come up with another video that is 'liked' by 1 billion people worldwide, he is talented. Now, he is just lucky.
In the world, there are lots and lots of lucky people who find fame and success ONCE. After all, there are 7 billion people on Earth. 0.001% lucky people means 700,000 lucky people.
