Success and Serendipity<br />

humans have suffered a premature death by tenaciously holding to false<br />

ideas than by any other cause.<br />

But arrogance can also be a good thing if it is directed toward<br />

learning. For example, it is incredibly arrogant to think we can fly, but<br />

we can with the aid of an airplane, which was developed by principlebased,<br />

highly focused, tenacious people seeking improved conditions,<br />

using a causal understanding of the world in a positive fashion. Those<br />

who ignore these strategies and believe in some tyrannical certainty are<br />

doomed to follow a path of mediocrity or outright failure depending on<br />

the happenstance of their times.<br />
