An Irish man invented the syringe. But what makes a person a success?

The syringe was invented by Francis Rynd in Ireland in 1844. As the first Covid-19 vaccines roll out in Ireland via hypodermic syringes, Helen O'Callaghan looks at whether we all have a shot at great success

In today’s unpredictable world — where there are no real rules because conditions keep changing and evolving — everyone has a shot at success. Frans Johansson, best-selling author of The Click Moment, believes strategy, planning, and careful analysis have had their day as the gods of getting ahead — if indeed they were ever as vital to success as we’ve been conditioned to believe. Johansson doesn’t think so.
“You no longer have to be the entrenched player. You don’t have to be Nokia to dominate the mobile phone world. You don’t have to be John Grisham or Graham Greene to dominate in the publishing world.”

What you need to set yourself on the path to success is a click moment, an ‘ah-ha’ moment — a turning point occurs, a major client signs on, a new competitor redefines the market, an unlikely idea surfaces.
