In the book
Luck is real, but you can position yourself for it: as I used to say, apples do fall unexpectedly into your lap, but it helps enormously if you are standing in the right orchard. Mind the small things, too — ignoring the little problems lets them pile up until they run your life, and the difference between success and failure is often nothing but details; sometimes it seems there are no little things at all, given the consequences that grow from them. And hold all of it lightly, because here is a freeing truth: in life, you don't actually have to do anything. — Before Takeoff (front matter)
