But how would you define luck, anyway? I think it was Oprah who said something along the lines of "luck is when preparation meets opportunity".

- awayfromhomenow 7y agomy favorite quote along that vein is "chance favors the prepared mind". If you're not looking for opportunity, you'll never see it.
- Paddywack 7y agoI believe we make our own "luck", and I think the above quote is elegant! WRT finding interesting ideas... We used to talk about "increasing your surface area of luck" by meeting more people, getting exposed to more ideas/ opportunities etc. If "Innovation happens at the intersection", then the more you come into contact with, the more your chances of finding an interesting (non-obvious) intersection between problem and solution, or two entirely different solution domains. WRT executin: Gary player = "The more I practice the luckier I get"
