I definitely agree that luck plays a part, but I like a phrase I've seen often here about "increasing your luck surface".

How many times must I point out that Max Gunther is the pioneer of this thinking?

These are required reading for everyone:

How to Get Lucky http://www.amazon.com/How-Get-Lucky-discovering-ebook/dp/B00...

The Luck Factor http://www.amazon.com/The-Luck-Factor-Luckier-ebook/dp/B0037...

This thinking was original only when Gunther put it in books. Stop re-inventing the wheel and just read the damn wheel.
