Which is why clutch is what happens when failure meets luck.

I'm sure your right. I'm just being hopeful that there is more to it.

"Clutch" is when a player, team, etc. performs in a late game situation with a close score. For the score to be close, prior team failures are required, regardless of where they happened, because if every drive of a game were successful for a team, the result would be a blowout and a shutout. So if luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity and clutch requires the additional aforementioned element of failure, then clutch is what happens when failure meets luck.

Definition of Luck is "success or failure apparently brought by chance rather than through one's own actions." Chance, not through ones actions. Preparation means you prepared for the given moment (opportunity). If you succeed its usually due to your preparation. Luck is a random action that happens and may or may not go your way.

Seneca meant for it to be you make your own luck. I suspect there was some translation loss along the way because it doesnt make sense when written in english.

good job explaining your quote, but it still sounds retarded.

My statement is IF luck is where preparation meets opportunity, then clutch is where failure meets luck. Rejecting the premise of the conditional as false technically makes the conditional true, but also irrelevant. In other words, if you don't believe that luck is where preparation meets opportunity, then the statement is basically word soup.

If it made sense, it would make sense, lol.

Your effort to appear intelligent proves otherwise. Throw away your thesaurus while you are at it, not helping. No wonder these fuckers laugh at you.

It comes as no surprise to me that someone like you would be dumbfounded by a basic principle of logic and feel the need to glorify your ignorance over it.
