One of my favorite quotes is, "Luck is when preparation meets opportunity" :)

  Yes but opportunities are random. I recently read in the https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44495428 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44495428 (it is absolutely good article) and the first comment there which I wanted to paste here is:- It's so, so , so hard to walk the line between persistence (which leads to glory) and stubbornness (which leads to more time following already wasted time.) -Bruce_511 (HN) So sure preparation meets opportunity but don't be stubborn just cause you feel like you are prepared. Work hard but honestly, if you walk the line like bruce said (then persistence will result in you doing the hard work too tbh that's my philosophy right now) So Everybody just need to figure out this line b/w stubborness and persistance especially in the startup world. But I think we need a book written on this topic tbh, any suggestions anybody?

    >Yes but opportunities are random. Not random, but always in the places where the big and easy to get money is. You're not gonna get much VC funding in Botswana or Bangladesh no matter how good your idea is and how smart you are. That's why so many sacrifice everything to go live in the bay area even if it's an overpriced shithole full of homeless, drug addicts and feces.
