How to Get Lucky: 13 techniques for discovering and taking advantage of life's good breaks

Lucky people always seem to have many ventures going on at the same time.

The universe has no interest in what you deserve.

Never take long-range plans seriously. Use them for general guidance as long as they seem to be taking you where you want to go, but whatever you do, don’t get stuck with them. Throw them in the trash heap as soon as something better comes along.

Nonlessons often grow out of unwarranted generalizations.

The fact is that fairness is a human concept. The rest of the universe knows nothing of it.
