I prefer the Samuel Goldwyn quote: “the harder I work, the luckier I get”.

I have no doubt that serendipity exists, but I prefer the odds of someone who worked hard at their art with talented people they respected as mentors. That’s why some parents are supportive of their child attend a pure arts program in college: they know that the enviornment will be more conducive for their children to learn, experiment, work, make mistakes they learn from with like-minded passionate individuals.

if we put it all down to luck, why should anyone bother to go to college for their chosen field at all?
