Understanding this quote
The speaker pushes back against being called “the unluckiest” by saying he is “the lucky one.” The contrast is ironic: the same career can look full of bad fortune to other people while still feeling fortunate from his own point of view. The quote shows that luck depends on how the experience is judged.
