“Survivorship
bias can become especially pernicious when you become a member of the “winning”
team. Even if your success stems from pure coincidence, you’ll discover
similarities with other winners and be tempted to mark these as “success
factors.” However, if you ever visit the graveyard of failed individuals and
companies, you will realize that its tenants possessed many of the same traits
that characterize your success.” –Rolf Dobelli, The
Art of Thinking Clearly
