## What Jamie wrote

Fun and simple read, and I like it because it places a critical role for luck. Highlight, emphasis is mine:

> [People] judge the quality of the decisions based on the outcomes. And this is a flaw that creates a dangerous illusion for future decisions.
> 
> Because life is not chess. It’s poker.
> 
> **Luck plays a bigger role than you think.**
