And so, I shall look for a copy of Robison Crusoe. There are too many prints though. Going to be hard to find the right one.
Flinders realized that true greatness came from bad luck, not good.
I'm not sure what's wrong with me but I almost agree with this. Misfortune gives skills to deal with misfortune. Presuming the misfortune isn't permanently debilitating of course. If you want to tolerate more pain (for whatever reason) you can usually do so by seeking it.
I'd say true greatness comes from maximizing your exposure to chance in trainable domains without (much) regard for fortune.
