# Those Cold Facts That Fooled You for Years

People say you were the fastest sperm running in back then.

The truth is: The egg has a protective layer called the "zona pellucida." Many sperm are actually much faster than you. They released acrosomal enzymes, dissolving the zona pellucida, but they all exhausted themselves and died outside the door.

Even so, many sperm kept charging forward one after another, finally dissolving the zona pellucida. By that time, they had all already "disappeared." It just happened to be your turn. You walked down the path your fellow sperm had opened, seized the moment the door opened, and rushed in.

So you weren't the fastest one. You were just the luckiest one.

That's the truth!

So, if your life isn't going well now, it's because you've already used up your luck.
