Everyday Greatness (Preparing for Luck)

Occasionally opportunity is thrust upon us or luck bounces in our direction. But most often opportunity and luck come only after a steady dose of preparation

 

Luck is a matter of preparation meeting opportunity.

I was once asked if there were such a thing as luck in trial law. ‘’Yes,’’I replied, ‘’but it only comes in the library at three o’clock in the morning.‘’ That holds true for me to this day. You’ll still find me in the library looking for luck at three o’clock in the morning.

Nowadays some people expect the door of opportunity to be opened with remote control.

When I was 15, I had lucky underwear. When that failed, I had lucky hairdo, then lucky race number, even lucky race days. After 15 years, I’ve found the secret to success is simple. It’s hard work.
