“Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.”
We’ve all had dreams of someone coming up to us and offering us the perfect job. We’ve thought, oh I wish I could do…insert your dream job here. We’ve all heard of the “overnight success” story where someone from obscurity is now in the limelight. But are they really an overnight success? Or did they work for years honing their skills or practicing a craft?
