Luck is when opportunity meets preparation.

I believe luck is preparation meeting opportunity. If you hadn’t been prepared when the opportunity came along, you wouldn’t have been lucky.

Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.

Be prepared luck is truly where preparation meets opportunity

I say luck is when an opportunoty comes along, and you're prepared for it.

Luck is a matter of preparation meeting opportunity.

Luck is what happens when preparedness meets opportunity, and opportunity is there all the time.

The complainers aren't working themselves into luck. Do you want to be lucky? Prepare for something big. Developing your talent requires work, and work creates luck.

Preparation (growth) + Attitude + Opportunity + Action (doing something about it) = Luck

You make your own luck if you stay at it long enough.

Then, there’s luck through persistence, hard work, hustle, and motion. This is when you’re running around creating opportunities. You’re generating a lot of energy, you’re doing a lot to stir things up. It’s almost like mixing a petri dish or mixing a bunch of reagents and seeing what combines. You’re just generating enough force, hustle, and energy for luck to find you.

Roman philosopher Seneca who some two thousand years ago said, ‘Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.

The meeting of preparation with opportunity generates the offspring we call luck.” — Anthony Robbins

For example, let’s say you’re the best person in the world at deep-sea diving. You’re known to take on deep-sea dives nobody else will even dare to attempt. By sheer luck, somebody finds a sunken treasure ship off the coast they can’t get to. Well, their luck just became your luck, because they’re going to come to you to get to the treasure, and you’re going to get paid for it. This is an extreme example, but it shows how one person had blind luck finding the treasure. Them coming to you to extract it and give you half is not blind luck. You created your own luck. You put yourself in a position to capitalize on luck or to attract luck when nobody else created the opportunity for themselves. To get rich without getting lucky, we want to be deterministic. We don’t want to leave it to chance. [78]
