Truth is, what most call luck is really most often the intersection of opportunity with preparation. Inadequate preparation? Luck goes on to knock at another’s door. Always be prepared for opportunity rarely makes appointments. Cultivate a ravenous curiosity, nurture a lust for learning. As Ben Franklin said, pour your pocketbook into your head (invest in your education) for knowledge is a treasure that can never be taken away.
