A lot of success in life comes down to:

• Cultivate the taste/judgment to recognize an excellent opportunity when it comes along

• Bounce around a lot; increase your surface area to luck & serendipity

• Have the confidence and initiative to seize the moment when it arrives

It's not about keeping options open so much as it is about staying active, doing things, trying things, meeting people, etc. You get lucky by being out there, not by sitting at home.

1 & 3 for sure -- 2 is probably roughly right but i feel like there's a better way of phrasing the first half? something about not being afraid to chase your interests/passions wildly ,, or something

imo "bounce around a lot" reads like a non-committal "keep my options open" statement, which i don't think is correct

Success equals skills times luck. Skills/knowledge is built up over time and experience. Luck is getting opportunities. It also takes time and experience to recognize and take advantage of an opportunity.
