“Luck is where preparation meets opportunity”

Simplified Meaning:

To succeed or have good fortune, you need two things: being ready and having the right chance. Think about a student studying hard for an exam. When the test paper contains questions they have studied for, they'll do well. It's not just luck that helps them; their hard work (preparation) helped them take advantage of the test (opportunity). Imagine an athlete training every day. When they get the chance to compete in a big race, their constant practice helps them win. It's not just about having the chance to run; it's all the training that makes them successful. In daily life, this means always learning and improving yourself. When a good job opens up, or any great chance comes along, you'll be ready to make the most of it. So, work hard and be prepared, and you'll find that you're "lucky" more often.
