The luck of having talent is not enough; one must also have a talent for luck. -

Someone receives a promotion, gets an important assignment, makes a major discovery, or moves into the president's office. ''He's lucky,'' an envious person remarks. ''He gets the breaks; they're always in his favor.'' In reality, luck or the breaks of life had little or nothing to do with it. So-called ''luck'' usually is found at the exact point where preparation meets opportunity. For a time, an individual may get ahead by ''pull,'' but eventually someone with push will displace him. Success is not due to a fortuitous concourse of stars at our birth, but to a steady trail of sparks from the grindstone of hard work each day. -

What is luck? It is not only chance, it is also creating the opportunity, recognizing it when it is there, and taking it when it comes. -

People who have attained things worth having in this world have worked while others have idled, have persevered while others gave up in despair, and have practiced early in life the valuable habits of self-denial, industry, and singleness of purpose. As a result, they enjoy in later life the success often erroneously attributed to good luck. -

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

We must believe in luck. For how else can we explain the success of those we don't like? -
Jean Cocteau

-
All of us have bad luck and good luck. The man who persists through the bad luck -- who keeps right on going -- is the man who is there when the good luck comes -- and is ready to receive it. -

What we call luck is the inner man externalized. We make things happen to us. -
