There is no luck.

For my History of Rock and Roll class at Rollins our teacher, Chuck Archard, invited Riff West to come and talk with us. Riff West was a bass player in Molly Hatchet and Foghat, two extremely successful bands. Aside from great stories and insight into the music industry, Riff told us the story of when he met Gene Simmons of KISS. He exclaimed to Gene how lucky he and KISS were. Gene (supposedly) got a little upset and said that there is no luck. “Luck”, said Gene, “is where preparation meets opportunity” (loosely quoted).

There is no luck.

Work hard, do what you love, and be prepared when opportunity comes your way. If you are prepared, you can take advantage of it.

There is no luck.
