opportunities for luck are ubiquitous.

They're abundant.

There's a prize in every room, and it's up to you to find it.

And so if luck is like the wind, invisible but powerful, you need to build a sail to catch the winds of luck.

Yes.

Thank you so much for asking that.

And I'm so delighted to be on this program.

I've been teaching young people for over 25 years.

And it's so fascinating to see those people who know how to see and seize the opportunities in their environment and those people who walk right by them.

And of course, it's not appropriate for me to sort of point it out at the moment.

You know, you just missed that opportunity.

It would be rude and inappropriate.

But I decided to write this book to capture all the things I've learned over my long years about what makes those people luckier than others and the things that happen, especially behind the scenes that are not obvious.

Well, I think there's something very, very important that we have to start out with.

And that is some definitions, which people often confuse.

There is a very big difference between fortune and luck.

Fortune is the things that happen to you, and luck is what you control.

And because we're in such...

a dance with them and that dance is so close, we often conflate that.

But it's incredibly important to figure out how to disentangle them so you can understand where you have agency.
