Sometimes he is a lawyer and sometimes he is a rock star.
I have a friend who tried everything she could do to be a Dr. She had a problem with her feet that caused her not being able to run and stand straight, but she achieved a half marathon last year. Her grade at the university is the same as mine which is not of course the best grade ever, but she kept turning in her applications to many med schools. A couple years later without any reply from those schools she was really frustrated; that's she did her marathon. She finally made one in Colorado this summer, so she sold herself to the army for her tuition.
People might say she is lucky or something, but that's wrong. Her strong will and consistent efforts opened the path. Her days are filled with some daily habits which everybody can do the same, and that made all the difference.
My dad is another example of those daily achievements, but his efforts do not see much fruit. He is kind of genius about that. But, well he raised an awesome daughter, so all his efforts might not be useless. (Do not tell this to my dad)
But I see how consistent and steady he is to achieve his goals. I think we can learn something in this life, but most importantly we can acquire consistent and steady learning habits which will carry us to the heights of God's intelligences most effectively since the time here on earth is too short to learn all things.
So, my dad is not a looser and we all can rock if we try :)
