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.
