Luck is random, but not uncontrollable. Successful people manufacture their own luck: live in the place where things happen, go to places where right people hang out, make yourself known and useful to well-connected people, attack the market where chances are tilted in your favor, be approachable, partner with people different from you so as to maximize your "luck surface area", the list goes on and on.
Chance favors the prepared mind.
