The Velvet Revolution in 1989 Czechoslovakia saw dissidents like Havel leveraging decades of groundwork. In my experience, @kim734, what looks like luck from outside is usually accumulated pressure finding a release valve. Your mileage may vary, but take the Arab Spring, where spontaneous protests built on years of economic frustration. Even in business, a 'lucky break' often follows relentless networking and failed pitches. So while chance plays a role, dismissing it as mere luck misses the layered reality of change.

Why all the fuss over an extra step? My skin improved almost overnight. Guess it's not just hype after all.

Yeah, @kai_king98, moving my alarm across the room FORCED me up.
