I think it's not only luck.
He had a great passion for a new technology and he had the skills and knowledge (though not from academia) to make it happen
but going after qualifications is the 'safe' way about it I guess...

maybe ba.. luck still play a part in making miracle other than hardwork, passion, experience and knowledge..
i guess its still safer to study higher in Singapore
I dun think it's luck with Creative's boss... he saw an opportunity and took it by storm... I'm talking about the hey days... him releasing a slew of Sound Blasters that the world's PCs hungered for...
well.. maybe.. i'm nt too sure abt tt.. only the Creative boss himself knows the truth.. :angel:
Well... I was there back in the late 80s... studying Computers... We knew about the Sound Blasters (when he first started with it with a small setup) and didn't think too highly of it (well, you know how it goes about locals seeing no up about locally produced brands)... a few years later when I was abroad continuing with my computer studies... SBs were are great hit there - great number of US PC brands were installed with it... When you're a big hit in the US back in those days... you're made!
Lucky? Luck alone will not be enough...unless you are well armed with the knowledge (electronics in this case) and the guts to pull it through, together with the right opportunity and timing (when no one ever give a damn about giving the PC some serious music)...

Yo Kriegs, Happy Lunar New Year..
Just to add on, technically, his first product is not a HIT
.. they started off by selling a PC, the "cubic" or something like that.. I think one of them has interest in music and feel that their system can have some nice audio (not just providinf some noise through the PC speaker)... and they were smart enough to do this as an additional card that can be sold/used in any PC... and as they said, the rest is history
