Opportunity and the means to grab it

One lucky break, or one supremely shrewd decision-can we tell them apart?-may count for more than a lifetime of journeyman efforts. But behind the luck, or the crucial decision, there must usually exist a background of preparation and disciplined capacity... these opportunities will knock at his particular door. One must have the means, the judgment, and the courage to take advantage of them.

- Benjamin Graham
