I am a fan of life hacks. Although, I am not so deep into them.
I believe that life has its own surprises too many of which we never prepared for. Does that make preparation for the best meaningless?
No. It makes it much more important.
The Good surprises of life have surprisingly been accrued to those who have enough of it already.
Funnily, I really don't think there is much research to prove that but then there are pieces of evidence here and there showing that the blessed get more blessed.
Like many scholars will say, when you don't know something, you are free to use the nearest assumption.
So, I will just assume that those who prepare for the best with all the life hacks, wisdom and knowledge they possess are suited to get the best goodies of life.
Nevertheless, there are exceptions to this but running one's life on slim exceptions is a recipe for failure.
