Yup. It's not alot about what happens to you, it's more how you respond to it.
This harkens to the 80-20 rule, the Pareto Principle, or "vital few and trivial many" concept that around 20% of most anything (ex. happenings/events, customers, problems) drive or are responsible for 80% of results (ex. media hype, sales, effort to fix or resolve). Note that the reverse way of stating it - that 80% of most of these examples can be said to stem from only 20% of the examples as well.
So, if 20% of life events drive 80% of one's time and effort to deal with it, that means that one is spending (wasting?) 80% of one's time on something that comprises only 20% of the events that happen in one's life.
Looking at both the "% cause driving the % effect" and the "% effect driven by the % cause" perspectives can help with decision making as to how to conceptualize and deal with many things in life, in business and in other areas.
