On Luck and Chance

A Quote to Carry You

March 10, 2014

“Luck is not chance, it’s toil; fortune’s expensive smile is earned.”  Emily Dickinson

This quote reminds me of when I just staring out  in my life’s work.  I remember when my future boss asked me during an interview what it was that I was seeking in the position I was applying for.  My answer began with “If given the chance…”  I can tell you, after many years of hard work, that chance had nothing to do with luck.  When we are given a chance at something in life, it is up to us to take hold of it and turn it into what we hope for. 

Peace,
