Facts. Success is when preparedness meets opportunity. If and when that opportunity comes is the luck part. Up to you if you're ready or not when it happens.

Good effort.

If you try something there's a chance you'll succeed. If you don't try, there's no chance to succeed.

I’m always curious when people put images of people next to quotes if they actually said them. Looking it up it seems like Stan Lee never said this, he’s just popped in next to this random quote because I guess it’s cool.

Although when researching this I did find this quote on Lee’s view on luck: “For years, kids have been asking me what’s the greatest superpower. I always say luck. If you’re lucky, everything works. I’ve been lucky.” Sounds to me as if he saw his success as a bit more than 1% luck.
