The math here is actually wrong. 1/100 tried 100 times is not 100% success. Each attempt is independent, so you can still fail all 100. The real answer is about 63%.
The motivational point is fine, but if you’re going to say ‘it’s math’, the math should be right.
PS – each…

Your math is fucked up, so I assume so will your success sadly

Narrator: Leila did not, in fact, have a 100% chance of success

63% is correct only if games are independent and identical; no learning! reality is actually
more generous than 63%.Each attempt isn’t independent: you learn, build judgment, expand your network. So the real probability is somewhere between 63% and 100%.

Not only is the maths wrong (probability isn’t linear) the general premise is wrong. The key to success is knowing when to stop and do something different. It’s akin to the sunk cost fallacy. There’s also a lot of luck in life. Just being born in a well off country for start.

The math for this is not
0.01 * 100
it’s
1 – (0.99^100)
Which is about 63%

And because we are never less than fair and balanced, last word to the original poster …
Community Note is right. It’s ~63%, not 100%. Somehow I’ve gotten to where I am while being this bad at basic probability.

Fair play for correcting and not just hitting delete, right?
We’re off to make our fortune.
