When we ask the question, “How much of our own fate do we actually control?”, all participants have answered differently based on their own personal beliefs. With all these possible answers ranging from zero percent to one-hundred percent of our own fate we actually control what is the real answer? In Luck is not Chance by Emily Dickson, she clearly says it is by hard work, while in the Sports Gene by David Epstein he says it is not always hard work, by using an example of a genetic ability to high jump with little experience. Even though the Sport Gene is a good example of having natural talent, I still think it is based on how hard you work rather than genetic luck.
