About this Quote

This quote by Alex Cox is a reflection on the unpredictable nature of life. It speaks to the idea that effort and devotion do not constantly ensure success. The speaker is comparing himself to a "colorless chap" who worked hard at his law research studies, yet the speaker himself is not the Prime Minister. This contrast suggests that the speaker is not as effective as his modern, in spite of his own hard work. It also suggests that the Prime Minister achieved his success through luck or other factors beyond his effort. The quote functions as a pointer that life is unforeseeable which success is not constantly an outcome of effort. It also implies that success can originate from unanticipated places, and that it is necessary to remain simple and available to brand-new opportunities.
