Unique analogies, solid writing, and profound thoughts ๐๐ผ
Whatever fuels your rocket is definitely true in a sense, although going after the one lucky shot I believe is fundamentally different in one aspect. And that is that if you pursue that strategy your are in a sense attached to a certain outcome, and will more likely measure your performance depending on that wildly lucky hit.
Pursuing the hustlers strategy allows you to follow a path were the journey is self are more likely to serve as the metric, which I personally believe is key to doing anything in the long-term as you'll encounter less negative emotional reactions were randomness plays a big role. The path is then, as you say, virtuos in itself.
A bit of a rant perhaps but I think you'll understand my thoughts ๐
Very good work!
