Very insightful. And wise. Most people think luck is tripping over a four-leafed clover. Or where “preparation meets opportunity”. (Jeez that’s a silly bumper sticker phrase!). I’m with your view - luck is being able to quickly and decisively identify opportunities and exercise personal agency. If you can’t do that, all the preparation in the world gets you nowhere.

Jamie Wheal says something like "Life is like white-water kayaking. Most of the time you want to go with the flow...but sometimes you want to paddle like hell."

I love this piece as it helps us identify when we should paddle like hell.
