Lucky or Good?

I was reading about Paul Newman today, and it turns out he was a man that believed in luck. He believed that it was always good to have talent and to be well prepared, but with all things being equal, it was better to be the guy who was lucky.

I thought that the clip below sums up the the critical importance of luck. You can be the best driver in the world, and still never have a situation like this come out this well.

Having seen plenty of post-kink damage, it usually involves hitting at least one wall, at least one time. Check out the clip, and decide, "is it better to be lucky or good?"
