Many people like to attribute other people’s achievements to talent, but the truly comforting answer is often: “I’m just lucky.”

🏑 Netizen: A Duan, I’m really curious—does playing golf require no less talent than investing? (Not the kind where you just mess around.)

⛳️ Duan Yongping: It seems like neither really requires talent much, or maybe I really am lucky. I think saying that I’m lucky might make a lot of people feel more comfortable, even though I don’t think it’s really that simple. (2026.9.19)
