Good Luck Quotes A-Z by Author |
I
believe that I was lucky to have suffered. Some people don’t realize that
in suffering there is great potential, because if you are deprived for any reason..
politically, financially, socially or otherwise.. and if you set your mind in
the right direction, you will find that the only way to survive is for you to
excel, by being better so you can be treated better.

Someone
once told me: 'Luck is when opportunity meets preparation'. And that's what I
really feel with my music. I've worked really, really hard on it. It was like,
'this is really what I want to do.. what do I have to do to make it work?'

The modelling was fun but I don't see it the same as music, because with
modelling, I was just kind of lucky, I just fell into it. I got discovered at
a train station when I'd just turned 15, I was working full-time by 16, moved
overseas and then just kept at it and made it a life. Whereas with my music, I've
really struggled through and worked hard, learnt how to write and I've kept developing
that.

So I've been praying to Joe for about a
year now. And I noticed something. I noticed
that all the prayers I used to offer to
God, and all the prayers I now offer to
Joe Pesci, are being answered at about the
same 50% rate. Half the time I get what
I want, half the time I don't. Same as God,
50-50. Same as the four-leaf clover and
the horseshoe, the wishing well and the
rabbit's foot, same as the Mojo Man, same
as the Voodoo Lady who tells you your fortune
by squeezing the goat's testicles, it's
all the same: 50-50. So just pick your superstition,
sit back, make a wish, and enjoy yourself.

Opportunity is a haughty goddess who wastes

I was slightly cynical of the American mentality
before I came over here, but now I preach
it. Here, no one's going to tear you down
if you buy yourself a $300,000 car. They're
likely to say: "Well, you probably
worked hard for it. Good luck to you."

It doesn’t matter how many times you
fail. It doesn’t matter how many times
you almost get it right. No one is going
to know or care about your failures, and
neither should you. All you have to do is
learn from them and those around you because...
All that matters in business is that you
get it right once. Then everyone can tell
you how lucky you are.

It is rare to find a business partner who

The movie business has always been like

I think that I am the luckiest cat on the

When life appears to be working against you, when your luck is down, when
the supposedly wrong people show up, or when you slip up and return to old, self-defeating
habits, recognize the signs that you're out of harmony with intention.

I'm lucky.
I'm the luckiest guy in the world. I never really had a job. I was a football
player, then a football coach, then a football broadcaster. It's been my life.
Pro football has been my life since 1967. I've enjoyed every part of it. Never
once did it ever feel like work.

We don't have much in the way of a business strategy. Like no business plan.

The deal is, it's a mixture of luck and persistence.

Some great people are leaders and others
are more lucky, in the right place at the
right time. I'd put myself in the latter
category. But I'd never call myself a normal
designer of anything.
