Luck is where opportunity meets preparation.
Chance favors those who are prepared.
I think that we are all in the right place at the right time almost every day. It's the people who are prepared to be lucky who can take advantage of being there. How do these people position themselves to be lucky? It was Goethe who said, 'Anytime that you take the first step toward trying to achieve something in life, all manner of good things will mysteriously fall into your path to help speed you along your way.' Amen to that!
We bring our preparation to the table, and opportunity may present itself, and if you are well prepared, you can seize opportunity and then maybe something good happens, and you call that luck.
Luck comes to a man who puts himself in the way of it. You went where something might be found and you found something, simple as that.
I've found that what most people call luck is often little more than raw talent combined with the ability to make the most of opportunities. (Talon Karrde)
I say luck is when an opportunity comes along and you're prepared for it.
Sometimes they are a matter of luck; the photographer could not expect or hope for them. Sometimes they are a matter of patience, waiting for an effect to be repeated that he has seen and lost or for one that he anticipates.
You don't just need skills and talent, you also need luck.
In the film industry, 60 per cent is luck and 40 per cent is availing the right opportunities.
Success is always a matter of some luck and timing.
My photography is the result of being there at the right moment.
