Quote by Elmer G. Letterman

Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.

Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.

Summary

This quote suggests that luck does not come purely by chance, but is the result of being prepared for when opportunities arise. Regardless of how fortunate or fortunate an individual may appear, it is their level of preparedness that determines whether they are able to seize upon these opportunities and make the most of them. Luck, therefore, is not simply a random occurrence, but rather a combination of being well-prepared and being in the right place at the right time.
