7 accounts won for 4 agencies in one year. It must be talent.

In France, stepping in dog shit with the left foot will bring you luck.

i disagree. there is no talent involved here.

so its luck not talent, as the line said: In France, stepping in dog shit with the left foot will bring you luck.

I guess they should but the shit on the right foot. cause then it will mean no luck needed

I didn't know of that meaning and assumed this to mean "we're idiots, too ... we just figured out how to do this one thing really well" and thought it was quite okay based on that. your explanation however does make it seem rather pedestrian.

they're just being sarcastic at themselves. that's the trick - they look dead serious and call themselves very talented, whilst the image shows another reason for this. and it's up for you to decide - talented or dogshite.

Self mockery is something to be appreciated in a world where people are far too serious about themselves and what they are doing....
Maybe there is too many people out there thinking they are seriously talented while they're just, you know......lucky :)
