When preparation becomes a form of procrastination, you need to change something. You don’t want to merely be planning. You want to be practicing.

Someone will start with more money than you. Someone will get into a better school. Someone will inherit connections you need to build from scratch. Someone will get picked before you. In other words, you'll have no problem finding people with a head start.

That's not the point.

The point is: when you get your opportunity, you make the most of it.

Life is too short to not be pursuing the best opportunity you know of.

Many people are not ready for their lucky break when it comes to them.

Develop your skills. Study your craft. Save some money. Build a network before you need it. Lay the ground work.

The prepared person is positioned to benefit from unexpected opportunities.
