This reminds of the Evan Williams quote from "Founders at Work" pg 124:
"luck comes in many forms -- and often looks bad at first. I always look back on the deals that we didn't do and the things that didn't work out, and realize what seemed like a bummer at the time was really lucky [...] if you have some plan and it doesn't go that way, roll with it. There's no way to know if it's good or bad until later, if ever."
