The Seneca quote summarizes luck in my opinion. > Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity. Not every opportunity is an open door nor window. Those who can seize the opportunity create their own luck. Newton said that whatever service he had rendered to humanity was not owing to any extraordinary sagacity he possessed, but solely to industry and patient thought. He wrote "Principia" with great care, and his great love of accuracy appears in all of his works. In other words, Newton was prepared and took great care everyday to be accurate in the opportunity presented. It seems people call this "luck" like the article, but I think that's the opposite of the definition. > success or failure apparently brought by chance rather than through one's own actions.
