Heidi Klum Quotes

When things go right it's hard to figure out why, but when things go wrong it's really easy.

It's luck that one thing works out and one doesn't, it's sort of happenstance.

Much of what we do in life has a huge component of luck.

The reality is that luck does play a part of it. It does. Ultimately it's a make or miss league.

To talk of luck and chance only shows how little we really know of the laws which govern cause and effect.

The man who said 'I'd rather be lucky than good' saw deeply into life. People are afraid to face how great a part of life is dependent on luck. It's scary to think so much is out of one's control. There are moments in a match when the ball hits the top of the net and for a split second it can either go forward or fall back. With a little luck it goes forward and you win. Or maybe it doesn't and you lose.

You know the old saying: you win some, you lose some... and then there's that little-known third category.

I'm always taken aback by things that are successful that I think are just crap, and then I'm completely surprised when things I do end up being successful because you walk into things and you never know... It's just really remarkable.

You know, the music business is like the Lotto. Just put your numbers down and sometimes they hit, and sometimes they don't. There's just no rhyme or reason.

Look, sometimes, no matter how hard you try, sometimes you need a bit of luck.

A very small cause which escapes our notice determines a considerable effect that we cannot fail to see, and then we say that the effect is due to chance.

There is an element of luck, there is an element of trial and error, sometimes you fail, sometimes you succeed. It's not as beautifully simple as it may seem when we are talking about it.

Luck is not scalable. Luck is not a national strategy.

You can never predict a hit.

You can't pick and choose who's going to win or who's gonna mess up.

Sometimes, things don't go your way. Sometimes, they do.

Even if you play well, you can lose, and vice versa.

Most people have a kind of survivor bias about luck. When something wonderful happens - when preparation meets opportunity, with excellent results - we think: 'How lucky!' But we don't usually acknowledge all the times when things just... fizzle out. All the times when preparation comes to nothing.

This is a crazy game we play. You're going to have those times you can't get out, and those times where you can do everything right, and the ball does not fall.

Of course it's all luck.

Success is a matter of luck. If you want proof, ask any failure.

There's no way to know what makes one thing happen and not another. What leads to what. What destroys what. What causes what to flourish or die or take another course.

Sometimes, you have no idea why something works and other times, you put so much work and effort into something and it just falls flat.

Both individual skill (art) and chance are important factors in determining success or failure.

You know, the process, I think, is the story. And it goes back, again, to what I said about chance and about radical contingency, the idea that all of this is this well-oiled machine that's been reared up and, like, really articulated and thought about.
