About This Quote

Most of the time, chance meetings don’t go so well. But sometimes they do. This is known as "chance encounters" and chances are, it’s that very meeting that gets you through your next crisis. As it turns out, chance encounters are often the key to success.

That’s because most people waste their entire lives trying to meet the right person at the right time—and then fail to do so. Those who succeed instead concentrate on meeting the right people at the right time, and then make sure to keep on having encounters with them.
