    There are a set of these “false beliefs” people can hold that are clearly untrue but are beneficial to them in other ways. This one about “hard work leads to success” is a very powerful one. Lean the hell into it if you ever come across an opportunity to!

      Can't win the lottery if you never buy any tickets

        Even your own analogy for it is buying a lottery ticket.

        Does buying a lottery ticket "lead to success"? Only if your picture of what that looks like focuses on only the winners.
