Said in that video:
>I'm sure most of you have seen those cats in the Chinese restaurant with the one paw raised up. And you've all heard about the Chinese obsession with luck. [...] You see luck coming up a lot in the Chinese culture. Alternatively "fortune", fortune cookie. [...] really this is a terrible terrible translation of the concept. For one thing, no body in Western culture believes in luck aside from a few sad gambling addicts. Luck is a flip of the coin. It's one of those things that happens. The most iconic believer in luck that we have is Two Face from Batman. And his belief in luck isn't an actual belief in fate. It is, it isn't a faith in luck.
>It is a rejection of faith. He's shouting that there is nothing but the material world and the flip of a coin. And so to accuse the Chinese in believing in luck like a gambler or a self-destructive monster. It infantilizes a culture which is far more profound than that. The Chinese don't believe in luck. Fortune is the better translation of that. And it's not unearned fortune. See, luck of the draw: that's is unearned. Sometimes it rains on you sometimes the sun shines on you. It's just the way life works, right? Sometimes you win the bet sometimes you lose the bet.
>That's not what fortune means to the Chinese. Fortune means that if you run your business properly, you will have a successful business. That cat with its paw raised is a reminder of that. It's saying that despite the whims of fate -- and yes they will buffet you -- if you run your business properly, it will succeed. Buddha talked about the path [..]
