Summary
This quote implies that relying solely on luck or external forces for success or sustenance is unreliable. One cannot expect to have a consistent and secure livelihood if they simply wait for luck to bring them opportunities. Instead, it suggests that one must actively and proactively take charge of their own destiny, work hard, and make strategic decisions to ensure a stable and fulfilling life. Waiting for fortune to provide is a risky endeavor that may leave one hungry, both metaphorically and literally.
