"As a teenager I had no idea that I had the potential to win an Olympic gold medal and my athletic career developed only by lucky circumstances"

This quote by Peter Snell speaks to the power of luck and situation in life. As a teen, Snell had no idea that he had the potential to win an Olympic gold medal. He was uninformed of the possibilities that lay ahead of him. Instead, his athletic profession developed only through a combination of luck and scenario. This suggests that sometimes, even when we do not have a strategy or a goal in mind, life can still take us in unforeseen directions. It also suggests that we ought to never ever underestimate the power of luck and circumstance in our lives. We never understand what opportunities might emerge, and it is very important to stay available to the possibilities that life can bring.
