Bloom: you can't create luck, but you can increase the surface area for luck to land on. Write publicly, meet people, start projects, share your work. Each action increases the probability that lucky opportunities will find you.
Bloom: Bezos's regret minimization framework is the stoic dichotomy applied to career choices. You can't control outcomes (whether the startup succeeds), but you can control whether you have regrets (whether you tried). Choose the option that minimizes future regret.
