"Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity."
I love this quote! I find it attributed to many different people, but one of the oldest is Seneca (the Younger), a Roman philosopher, politician and dramatist.
I've spent my life getting education on various things, especially things surrounding my job as a computer programmer and analyst. I learned COBOL, IMS DB/DC, CICS, DB2 & SQL, LotusScript, Java, HTML, JavaScript, CSS, C++, XML, XSL, SAP's Java Web Dynpro, project management techniques, structured analysis and structured design. And I was ready for the "next assignment".
The way I think about it, if you want to make yourself valuable to your employer, educate yourself. And stay on top of your education needs.
