What we call luck is the inner man externalized. We make things happen to us. I know that sounds horrible and cruel, considering what happens to a lot of people, and it can’t be the whole explanation. But it’s a considerable part of it.

luck is a product of process, action, work, and being “out there.

Luck can often mean simply taking advantage of a situation at the right moment. It is possible to make your luck by being always prepared.

We make our own fortunes, and call them fate.

Luck's just another word for destiny...either you make your own or you're screwed.

Separate yourself from the complaining crowd. You can create your own luck. 'Luck is when opportunity meets preparedness'... well, I agree.

Luck is statistics taken personally.

Chance makes us known to others and to ourselves.

Everything in life is luck.

I believe luck is preparation meeting opportunity. If you hadn’t been prepared when the opportunity came along, you wouldn’t have been lucky.

Luck? I don’t know anything about luck. I’ve never banked on it and I’m afraid of people who do. Luck to me is something else: hard work - and realizing what opportunity is and what isn’t.

Then, there’s luck through persistence, hard work, hustle, and motion. This is when you’re running around creating opportunities. You’re generating a lot of energy, you’re doing a lot to stir things up. It’s almost like mixing a petri dish or mixing a bunch of reagents and seeing what combines. You’re just generating enough force, hustle, and energy for luck to find you.

We make our own luck. And it’s my responsibility to see it’s good and not bad.

I always thought that luck was a result of hard work, and the only way you're going to get lucky is if you're at the desk on Friday afternoon in August and the phone rings and you get the call and it's a developer who's building a project that needs your help. If you're working, if you're there, if you're in the game, if you stay engaged and involved, that's how people get lucky. Luck doesn't just happen to people. They have to make it happen. And it's in everybody's power, I think, to get lucky.
