“Luck is when preparation meets opportunity” – Seneca
You got to be ready when the opportunity hits. Without preparation it will just pass the unready and be lost. Those who only live in the unchangeable past or the unpredictable future will miss the right time; this fleeting moment right here right now.
Louis Pasteur said it this way: “Chance favors the prepared mind.”
Build your skills, develop your knowledge, and stay alert to take the occasion; be ready.
