Things worthwhile generally just don't happen.
Luck is a fact, but it should not be a factor. Good luck is what is
leftover after intelligence and efforts have combined at their best.
Negligence or indifference or inattention are usually reviewed from an
unlucky seat. The law of cause and effect and causality both work the same
with inexorable exactitudes. Luck is the residue of design.
