Oh yes, I can teach you how to be this lucky.

All you have to do is start work at 13 years old, go out before school and after school to that job.

Then, when you leave school, you need to find a job - any job will do, as long as there is plenty of opportunity to do lots overtime and earn more money. Work hard, get kicked in the teeth and taken advantage of for around 10 years or so, then start your own business.

Using nothing but your personal luck and imagination, no hard work at all, hardly... you spend 16 hours a day (sometimes more), seven days a week, building your business and filling the orders you've been lucky enough to have drop in your lap after making phonecall after phonecall trying to get people to have faith in your product and give a new business a chance.

Then, in between raising children and keeping a marriage alive, you may be lucky enough to get another job working at night so you never get to say goodnight to your kids and you're too tired to appreciate them in the morning.

After all that luck, you may even get a job where you can work only 2 hours mandatory overtime, plus ONLY one day of the weekend, one where you can actually use the 15 minute breaktimes and 30 minute lunchtimes to write your novel.

When you have to leave that job because of a spine injury and find other work, you may then be lucky enough to get work as something else, perhaps at an agency?

Then, after around 40 years, if you're really lucky, you can buy your own car.
