Great ideas, career turns and whole industries often come out of a chance conversation rather than a plan. How should we treat randomness?

Options

• Randomness is everything. Stay open, talk to people, hold plans loosely
• Luck favours the ones already grinding. Chance is a reward for earlier work
• Relying on chance is foolish. A clear plan and steady execution is what pays
• There are no coincidences. Behind every unexpected turn is a chain of your own choices
