I think that one can have luck if one tries to create an atmosphere of spontaneity.
Interpretation
Luck can be influenced by creating a welcoming and spontaneous environment.
Federico Fellini suggests that luck is not merely a chance occurrence but can be cultivated by fostering an atmosphere that promotes spontaneity and openness. By embracing unpredictability and creativity in our lives, we increase our chances of encountering fortunate opportunities and experiences.
In practice
In a motivational speech about harnessing creativity in the workplace.
I’m just a storyteller, and the cinema happens to be my medium. I like it because it recreates life in movement, enlarges it, enhances it, distills it. For me, it’s far closer to the miraculous creation of life than, say, a painting or music or even literature. It’s not just an art form; it’s actually a new form of life, with its own rhythms, cadences, perspectives and transparencies. It’s my way of telling a story.
Talking about dreams is like talking about movies, since the cinema uses the language of dreams; years can pass in a second, and you can hop from one place to another. It's a language made of image. And in the real cinema, every object and every light means something, as in a dream.

A created thing is never invented and it is never true: it is always and ever itself.
What's important is the way we say it. Art is all about craftsmanship. Others can interpret craftsmanship as style if they wish. Style is what unites memory or recollection, ideology, sentiment, nostalgia, presentiment, to the way we express all that. It's not what we say but how we say it that matters.
We can all pretend to be cynical and scheming, but when we’re faced with purity and innocence, the cynical mask drops off.
To know in war how to recognize an opportunity and seize it is better than anything else.
Gratitude is a sign of maturity...Where there is appreciation: there is also courtesy and concern for the rights and property of others.
He that wants money, means, and content is without three good friends.
Never forget that only dead fish swim with the stream.
I would always advise young people to follow their star - not my star. They have to live their own life. If they decide they want to go into the investment business, do it, but make it a better business than it is today.
