Luck is rarely a lightning strike, isolated and dramatic — it's much more like the wind, blowing constantly. Catching more of it is easy but not obvious. In this insightful talk, Stanford engineering school professor Tina Seelig shares three unexpected ways to increase your luck — and your ability to see and seize opportunities.

She is so right!
Translation in Arabic please
So basically, luck = having a big network. But good talk regardless.
Cloudhex Not necessarily. It’s also about doing the right thing at the right time.
Thank you
But most of the time when I try to take a risk it leads me into failure……
I guess I’m not that lucky to make my own luck.

Great talk! now, I understood everything happened into my life! And now, I took the risk of commenting on this video to say Thank you for this wonderful talk.
Ces Soriano That’s a lot of risk. Glad you’re okay.
+Ding Dong yes, I’m good. And because of this risk, I got lucky to meet you!

Lucky she was seated next to a publisher on that flight.
20 years studying something that doesn’t exist.
Without execution of works, success does not pop in.
Without work-idea, execution of works can not happen.
Without knowledge, ideas do not sparks. If at all it sparked, you are not able to catch them.
Without direction, without coaching, without crash course, without study, without labour, knowledge does not happen.
And if you do labour, even in unknown area, you have chance to get success until unless somebody is not behind you making you unsuccessful.
So for any success, there is labour and dedication, which arranges for success. That labour is nothing but leaving the comfort zone.
