Shallow men believe in luck. Strong men believe in cause and effect. I say luck is when an opportunity comes along and you’re prepared for it. Good luck is when opportunity meets preparation, while bad luck is when lack of preparation meets reality.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
daily
from sun up
to sun down
nightly
when weary men snore
& wanton women whore
he toiled
gave up play
dug head & heart in many books
forged friendship with faith
& when he won
men called it luck
