• • Buffett vs. Carnegie and Rand: The Role Of Luck In Success 
Don Watkins, Laissez Faire (Ayn Rand Institute) Objectivist author  | [H]ere is Ayn Rand, from her essay “An Untitled Letter” in Philosophy: Who Needs It: “I submit that any man who ascribes success to ‘luck’ has never achieved anything and has no inkling of the relentless effort which achievement requires. I submit that a successful man who ascribes his own (legitimate) success in part to luck is either a modest, concrete-bound represser who does not understand the issue—or an appeaser who tries to mollify the resentment of envious mediocrities.”   Published: 2013-01-14
