The book discusses successful people and their common traits, concluding that they primarily focused on collecting opportunities. The speaker used this concept to advise listeners on actively seeking out and participating in opportunities.
There's a book out there by Nassim Talib called The Black Swan.
The gist of the book, it's a very complicated book, but it's good. It's not complicated to read. It addresses a lot of things.
And Talib goes over in the book, one of the things that analysis of all these people who were successful and they basically ask in the book a couple of times like, is there one thing all these successful people had in common?
They collected opportunity. They collected opportunities. They made their own luck.
If you're going to collect opportunities, don't chase trains.
