Every day each of us has a little bit of luck. Some is bad, but most of it is good. Many people believe that luck is random.
But by following a simple, well-known formula, I believe that we can all make our own luck. The formula is this: “Luck is when opportunity meets preparation.”
I was delighted to see that quote in the Leland and Gray student handbook, but apparently the company that produces that book needs better fact checkers.
This was not a quote by Denzel Washington, as they claim, but by the Roman philosopher Seneca, who lived almost 2,000 years before Washington arrived on the scene. This is another example of why I say that one source for your information is never enough.
