By being unlucky a lot, perhaps...in other words, practice.
By training oneself to look for the possibilities in a situation and not to concentrate on the limitations.
By making good art.

"Luck favors the well prepared" reminds me of another truism:
"Good judgment comes from experience. Experience comes from bad judgment."

"Luck is when skill meets opportunity".

...more like when skill recognizes opportunity!

What is success?
Mozart is considered a genius but Justin Beiber made a whole lot more money. A hundred years from now Mozart will still be considered a genius but no one will remember Justin Bieber.

Being consistent and walking forward with a stiff chin.

Mozart was pushed into proficiency as a child. He continued to work hard and become even better throughout his short life. What has Bieber ever done that has enduring quality?
