We must believe in luck. For how else can we explain the success of those we don't like?

We must believe in luck. For how else can we explain the success of those we don't like?

Jean Cocteau, a French poet, playwright, and filmmaker, once said, “We must believe in luck. For how else can we explain the success of those we don't like?” This quote speaks to the human tendency to attribute the success of others to luck rather than acknowledging their hard work and talent. It reflects a common sentiment of jealousy and resentment towards those who have achieved success, especially when we do not particularly like or admire them.
