Summary

This quote highlights that luck is not solely reliant on chance, but rather a combination of factors. It suggests that luck goes beyond just happening upon favorable circumstances; it involves actively creating opportunities, being astute enough to recognize them when they arise, and having the courage to seize them when they present themselves.
