You will never wake and be exceptionally good at something which is difficult. Somethings may seem easy, like playing poker or trading, but that is because you are failing to see the difficult emotional control it takes to win. That emotional control and discipline comes from absolute understanding of the discipline required, which takes work and set backs and a genuine effort push forward. Therefore, you will never wake up and be great at something without work. Luck has nothing to do with long term success.
