I believe luck is preparation meeting opportunity. If you hadn’t been prepared when the opportunity came along, you wouldn’t have been lucky.

Oprah Winfrey

Nothing about my life is lucky. Nothing. A lot of grace, a lot of blessings, a lot of divine order, but I don't believe in luck. For me, luck is preparation meeting the moment of opportunity. There is no luck without you being prepared to handle that moment of opportunity. Every single thing that has ever happened in your life is preparing you for the moment that is to come.

Oprah Winfrey

I don't believe in luck. Luck is just preparation meeting the moment of opportunity.

Oprah Winfrey

Luck is a matter of preparation meeting opportunity.

Lucius Annaeus Seneca

I feel that luck is preparation meeting opportunity.

Oprah Winfrey

I believe that luck is opportunity meeting preparation.

Scarlett Johansson

The meeting of preparation with opportunity generates the offspring we call luck.

Tony Robbins

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.

Marc Randolph

Good luck is when opportunity meets preparation, while bad luck is when lack of preparation meets reality.

Eliyahu Goldratt

There's no such thing as luck. Luck is where preparation meets opportunity.

Unknown

Be ready when opportunity comes...Luck is the time when preparation and opportunity meet.

Roy D. Chapin, Jr.

Preparation for life is so important. Luck is what happens when preparedness meets opportunity. Opportunity is all around us. Are you prepared?

Earl Nightingale

Early success is a terrible teacher. You're essentially being rewarded for a lack of preparation, so when you find yourself in a situation where you must prepare, you can't do it. You don't know how.

Chris Hadfield

What if opportunity comes and you aren't prepared? If you don't prepare yourself for opportunity, one thing is certain, you won't win even when you get the chance. You must recognize the power of being prepared.
