Success is not merely the sum of our hustle. While we rightly celebrate the grit of hard work and the clarity of smart decisions, artist Rema offers a necessary reminder. His words, featured in this week’s ManCrush Monday, point to something larger. Luck and grace also have their say in any meaningful achievement.
This perspective matters greatly for the modern leader. It does not diminish effort; it humbles it. Recognising that fortune and favour play a part grounds ambition in gratitude.
It also encourages a generosity that is as essential as any business plan. In a culture obsessed with individual control, Rema’s insight invites us to pause. We should acknowledge the invisible currents that carry us forward, and we should extend that same grace to others.
