Precision > luck


“Every day is a new day. It is better to be lucky. But I would rather be exact. Then when luck comes you are ready.”
          ~ Ernest Hemingway, from his novel The Old Man and the Sea

Random chance plays a certain role in life, but I've found that many who are called lucky are really diligent and willing to take risks. They put themselves in situations where the odds are best for a favorable outcome.

You can't make fish bite, but you CAN fish where the fish are and use the bate they like. If you cast into trees you'll never eat.
