Victory loves preparation.

A good victory usually possesses a definite and deep meaning.  Identifying it properly and being able to approach it with cautious preparation before your competition does, is the first step to securing your victory.

Unprofessional hustle could only go so far.  There is no beginners luck if you are prepared and focus-driven.
