"[Lucky people] have various game plans running in their heads.
We are traditionally taught to be really focused, to be really driven, to try really hard at tasks. But in the real world, you've got opportunities all around you. And if you're driven in one direction, you're not going to spot the others.
Unlucky people, if they go to a party wanting to meet the love of their life, end up not meeting people who might become close friends or people who might help them in their careers. Being relaxed and open allows lucky people to see what's around them and to maximize what's around them."
So he's saying that being a "lucky" person is as simple as being open to opportunities you didn't necessarily plan for. Some opportunities might not "work out" the way you wanted them to, but you've gotta be flexible and optimistic. Even bad experiences can have positive influences on your life if you allow it. Your friends might all be busy on a night you want to go out. That shouldn't stop you from going out on your own, having a great time, and meeting more people than you would have if your friends had been there. Who knows, maybe one of those new people you meet will ask you to model for their salon company. You know, not like that happened to me.
