You do everything you can do
to ensure a project
is a success.
It still fails.
Hey, this happens to me.
Often.
It happens to everyone.
Because like it or not
(I vote for not),
good luck is a factor
in EVERY success.
We need a bit of good luck
to be successful.
Acknowledge that.
Accept that.
Try to minimize
the impact luck has
but know that a little bit of it
IS necessary.
And also know
that, eventually,
if we try hard enough,
work wisely enough,
we WILL get that little bit
of luck.
