“[S]cientific research was much like prospecting: you went out and you hunted, armed with your maps and your instruments, but in the end your preparations did not matter, or even your intuition. You needed your luck, and whatever benefits accrued to the diligent, through sheer, grinding hard work.” -Jeremy Stone, The Andromeda Strain
[Life has a way of rewarding those who give themselves more opportunities to have luck turn out well for them. The more chances you take, the better your odds of receiving something great. True of scientists and just about everyone else, too.]
