Quote of the Week

"Luck is the sense to recognize an opportunity and the ability to take advantage of it." -- Samuel Goldwyn, entertainment executive

Luck has always seemed like a one-sided thing to me - it doesn't seem very fair that you're either a lucky person or you're not! I much prefer this idea of luck - the sense to recognize an opportunity and to take advantage of it. With this idea of luck, anyone can be lucky - as long as they put in the time and effort to know when to build on an opportunity.

So if you've been thinking negatively, waiting for luck to find you, you'll be waiting a long time. Start thinking about making your own luck, and start seizing those opportunities!

Like many salespeople, the harder I work, the luckier I get.
