Frans Johansson - The Click Moment (video)
Frans Johansson: The Click Moment - Business Insider: "Most people would agree that the simple formula for success = hard work + luck.

Google and Facebook are . . . . ."luckier" than they'd like to admit. They've become dominant market players because their founders knew the value of placing lots of bets, and hoping one of them would pay off."
