Necessity is the mother of invention, and opportunity is the father. Not everyone is going to get the same opportunities. Equality of opportunity can’t truly exist, because sometimes an opportunity is simply being in the right room at the right time. Therefore, when opportunity knocks, if it’s something you want to do, open the door.

@sj_zero I like to think of it as a "luck surface area." Imagine that opportunity just randomly shoots around all the time. What are the odds of one hitting you? Those odds increase if you hang around interesting people, go to meetups for whatever your industry is, try out weird stuff and publish it, etc.
@sj_zero Give two kids the same wealthy inheritance and one will invest while the other blows it.
