Fail faster

Life is a mix of luck and effort.

Effort alone = you'll make $100,000+ no debate
Luck? It's required to make it *big*. Big being 8+ digits.

Solution: always max effort since you never know when the match is circling your pile of gunpowder

Very true. I've seen the opposite a lot in my life. Many colleagues don't take put in the effort or take risks because the chance of zero payoff or failure is high. The solution isn't to avoid the painful failures but to go through them faster to achieve "good luck".
