You have to be in the right place at the right time, but when it comes, you better have something on the ball.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail
The fight is won or lost far away from witnesses – behind the lines, in the gym and out there on the road, long before I dance under those lights.
Muhammad Ali
People sometimes think that competitions are won when they are held but in many cases that is wrong. Without preparations noone will win any competition or event.
If you carefully consider how and how well every participant is prepared you can get a pretty accurate picture of who is going to win.
The problem is that during preparation you do not get rewards. You work your ass of for the possible but not granted success. So believe in your success, trust your abilities and push through preparations!

Prepare well
Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe.
Abraham Lincoln
Actually doing the job may be more fun than the boring preparations but in fact these boring preparations are the things tha make it fun in the first place.
Like in the quote, chopping down the tree for six hours with a blunt axe would suck. Shaprening the axe would just bore you four hours, after that you would have two hours smooth sailing and also possibly better results.
Always take time for good preparations, it is worth it.
