About this Quote
This quote by Pierre Trudeau talks with the idea that luck is not something that is simply presented upon us, yet rather something that is created when we take the effort to prepare ourselves as well as seize the possibilities that come our way. It recommends that good luck is not something that is out of our control, but rather something that we can produce for ourselves. It motivates us to do something about it and also be positive in our lives, rather than waiting for good luck to find our means.

This quote is a reminder that we have the power to produce our own good luck, and that we ought to benefit from the chances that come our method.
