Luck: Success and Preparation Meeting Opportunity
Luck has always been a word that can stir up a debate on whether or not it exists. Some people believe luck exists and there’s nothing you can do to change your failure or success. Yet there are others that believe the actions you partake in to reach many opportunities will determine success or failure.

First, I agree with following notion by Oprah Winfrey which states “luck is a matter of preparation meeting opportunity,” because the actions you take will always determine your outcome. I believe this because when you want to get somewhere you are not just sitting there waiting on to come to you about it.
