LUCK

Two schools of thought.

*It's just a matter of chance. Someone people are just born lucky. Co-incidence after co-incidence just keep happening and they keep getting lucky.....

*The harder you work the luckier you get. Some people, by virtue of their positive thinking habits and organised "karma", attract good luck.

My life is a blend of both the kinds. I have seen how my preparedness, sometimes, had paid me in form of luck when some oppurtunity struck right then. There also have been instances where I was saved disgrace or got lucky for no reason. So, as a final thought, I would say, people who work hard, do all the right things attract luck deservedly and along the way co-incidences might also occur. Smile

I was hit by a meteorite when I was a kid and I always considered that incident to mean that I was born with good luck.

I have been meaning to apologize to you for hitting you with that rock when you were a kid. My mom took my slingshot if its any consolation.

I believe in chance and hard work...

Some people seem lucky to you, but you don't see, how much effort they put into getting what they want.
Some people constantly bitch about how bad they have it, but fail to see, that a dent in the car is not the end of the world.
Some people have a really hard time, but you never hear them complain.
Some people just see the good in everything.
Some people choose to see the bad.

I think in the end it really comes down to chance and your attitude towards everything.

I dont think its possible to divide people into lucky and unlucky. Supposing you took a group of people who undoubtedly had had some bad experiences in their life which could be attributed to bad luck...the Unluckies...and a group of people who felt themselves to be the Luckies.

If you gave them each the same amount of money to spend on the lottery, overall the Luckies would win no more or no less than the Unluckies.

[Except the Unluckies would probably lose their ticket.... Smile

The lotto analogy sounds OK, but is based on assumption and a bit of probability. Eventually someone will win the pot - is that person(s) "lucky"?

Down here in Florida - it's common knowledge that drug dealers in south FL have won a large number of Lotto drawings due to mathematical probabilities. (Utilizing large amounts of dirty-cash to buy tickets) However, there are those who win despite spending much less on tickets than the dealers - are they lucky? Were the dealers then unlucky? (Especially if they lost a winning ticket!) :wink:

Are those who are born into fortunate situations and/or with superior physical attributes lucky? (And conversely those born into awful situations - unlucky?) ie: Shac Oneal, Dale Earnhardt Jr, Paris Hilton, children from the projects, drug-addicted children, etc.

Now that's a one in a trillion. Unless someone threw it at you. Smile

Sometimes I wonder if luck is not a mindset. An ability to see things with a mind unbound by expectation, able to turn things to a positive outcome.
