The second question I asked influential Hispanics in tech was about handling life's unpredictability to shape a good future. Rather than waiting for luck, these trailblazers adopt a proactive stance by being perpetually prepared—cultivating skills, networks, and a growth mindset. They focus on what they can control, seize opportunities, and view setbacks as chances to recalibrate. Embracing unpredictability, they remain agile and resilient, pivoting when necessary. Their mantra: "Control what you can, adapt to what you can’t." They also recognize their success is linked to lifting others, paying it forward by mentoring young talent. Their approach is echoed by the stories of luck in discoveries like Penicillin and Post-It notes, emphasizing that success comes from hard work, dedication, and seizing serendipitous moments. The book underscores the importance of being ready for opportunities through well-being and work-life balance.
