Love the personal stories. Indeed it got me thinking about the consequential events of my own life, how it’s often happenstance. So true that while useful in some ways, imagination and goals are overrated for what we often assume they can do for us. Lots of food for thought 💭

Excellent essay and love the way you wrote and mentioned how most of our major life milestones come through randomness. I see many similarities for e.g: How I met my spouse and how I met my 2 best friends back in old days and how I met many online friends and mentors since I started writing on Twitter including you 🙌

Randomness played a huge part in my life and career stories & then I saw the proof of how small bets can help me to live life on my own terms and help me to make a good lifestyle based on my preferences!

I currently have many online bets in parallel and many offline bets in real estate back home in India and it feels so good that I’m not fully dependent on just one big bet. We shouldn’t ignore randomness instead we should allow more randomness!
