Almost-Prepared
We are almost-always only almost-prepared. The difference between living and dying (or success and failure) almost-always comes down to how we almost-handle the gap between what we are prepared for and what we really encounter. When events happen we either "rise to the occasion" or we don't. Sometimes we think of what we ought to say just a second too late. It has been said that to be a success you have to be at the right place at the right time, but you also need to be almost-prepared. (Also, opportunity usually only almost-knocks, so you have to almost-listen, and almost-seek her out.)
