Summary

This quote by Louis Pasteur highlights the importance of preparation in making the most of opportunities. When we are observant and alert, we increase the likelihood of recognizing and benefiting from chance occurrences. However, this is only possible when our minds are prepared through knowledge, skills, and a curious mindset. By acquiring the necessary knowledge and staying prepared, we are better able to discern meaningful patterns, make connections, and seize opportunities that may come our way. Preparedness sets the stage for our minds to be ready to perceive, interpret, and take advantage of the unexpected occurrences that may present themselves in life.

The most remarkable aspect of the transition we are living through is not so much the passage from want to affluence as the passage from labor to leisure. Leisure contains the future, it is the new horizon. The prospect then is one of unremitting labor to bequeath to future generations a chance of founding a society of leisure that will overcome the demands and compulsions of productive labor so that time may be devoted to creative activities or simply to pleasure and happiness.
