"I always say 'When preparation and opportunity meet, it results in a phenomenon known as luck.' It's all about creating your own luck and preparing yourself in a variety of different ways.

Even if you're not in the job that you want to be in, try to get as much training out of that job as you can and find as many ways to immerse yourself in it. When you're ready to follow your passion, having a vision is the first step."
