The two most important requirements for major success are: first, being in the right place at the right time, and second, doing something about it.
Meaning of the quote
To be really successful, you need two things: First, you need to be in the right place at the right time. But that's not enough - you also need to take action and do something about it. If you're in the perfect situation but you don't do anything, you won't succeed. You have to be in the right place and then make the most of it.
