Summary

This quote suggests that luck or opportunity, symbolized by "chance," is more likely to come to those who actively seek it or put themselves in positions where it can find them.

In order to increase the likelihood of favorable outcomes, one must actively pursue and embrace "chance" by being proactive, taking risks, and being open to new experiences and possibilities.
