Luck is more important than choice, choice is more important than effort

Once naïve thought that as long as with their own efforts will be able to achieve the pinnacle of success, now it seems that the most important factor may still be luck. Since the start of the failure (early 05) until now, has been a dream to become a technical expert on one side, but the current situation of outsourcing companies do not give me this opportunity, because most of the doing is still relatively simple projects. A communications company is a little bit better, but it's a peripheral thing, with bleak prospects, messy management, and cheap treatment to retreat. October 07 know that they like the development of algorithms, but also try to work in this direction, but suffer from no suitable environment.
There have been a lot of thinking about the direction of research and more or less spent time studying, such as the Linux kernel, 3D graphics and physics engine, search engine, artificial intelligence and so on. However, many efforts to prove that by their own spare time it is difficult to have a big act, also can not be recognized by the industry. And it's impossible to go back to school or leave home to study. So the rest may be simple, settle down get a job and go deep in the industry. But the future of this job can give me a chance to go further. What if it's the kind of outsourcing company. After all, most companies are not very high-tech.
After 30 years, I think it should be the golden period of life development, because of the accumulation of the past and their own understanding of society and itself. But why all I can do is calm my mind and hope for good luck. Is 30 years old only to be diverted?
Think very sad, think that year, in the surrounding people daily goof off, their own 1 years of continuous study every day more than 12 hours. Graduated nearly 6 years, the original worst students are now also the backbone of the company and work Super stable (traditional industry), a good mix has long been a room with a car. And their hard to learn programming, although up to now can get 10k offer, but deeply own development space limited. As previously said, in-depth technology has not been too many opportunities to do simple management and feel the void, do not have other contacts and no funds. What else can you do in a few years? Sometimes want to go back to do the traditional industry, but think of everything from the beginning, but also feel afraid. And how can it be so hot in a few years?
Maybe it's all meant to be.
