What's beginner's luck anyway?

Picasso

It is acting in a way such that the person isn't aware of the risks, the possibilities and the real deal. It is performance sans ego. It is acting with a certain level of ignorance, accepting and acknowledging such incompetency.

To start with the confidence that you have nothing to lose, not your time, your money or your reputation is the key object to getting luck at your side.

The time comes when a person develops status, reputation and an identity. The identity that normally an ego sides with.

As soon as you have that formed identity, the mind is occupied with certain facts from ego, and the master gets busy protecting the newly found identity, the ego.

How often do we hear about the humbleness of great minds, too good to have an ego. The saying "little person, big ego" is nothing but truth.

In biographical documentations of world's great artists, an artist is usually portrayed as suffering right before his masterpiece is delivered. Suffering to a level of self loath and hate. To a level of major depression. Until there's no ego involved in the process of producing the piece of art.
