This article shows beautifully how this is all just random. Of course it helps to be an enterprising person with an optimistic outlook. Failures are far too normal to be impressed by them.

But seriously, who is really able to tell which extravagant nice-to-have (or even too-ridiculous-to-be-wanted) will be next week's must-have? If there was a way to find that out, we finally would have understood humanity.

So cheers to all with above-average stats at guessing who will be the next big Dollar Sign.
