"Diligence is the mother of good luck." Benjamin Franklin (1706–1790)
Oxford
Dictionary: noun: A chance considered as a force that causes good or bad things
to happen; something regarded as bringing about or portending good or bad
things.
Sam
Parker: noun: a force that makes things happen.
If
you want more luck you need to be the force that makes it happen ... for you:
- Prepare.
Work hard to be ready for the opportunities that are important to you. Research.
Practice. Perfect.
- Be
awake. Pay attention to the people, events, and things around you. Evaluate
logically and trust your gut instinct.
- Take
action. Put yourself out there. Explore. Be vulnerable. Make contact with
people. Take risks.
- Expect
positive results. Optimism improves your chances. If you fail, embrace the
lesson and continue on, smarter.
Now
go be lucky and make something good happen for you and those around
you.
