“That Johnny just always seems to be down on his luck.”
“Man, did that guy luck-out to get that job.”
“With my luck I’ll be the one person in the show who actually
breaks a leg.”
“I only lost because she had the luck of the draw.”
“Yea we tried, but we just ran out of luck.”
“Wow, were we in luck that the place was still open.”
Luck has been described as some force that appears to operate in a
person’s life to bring in good or bad circumstances, to attract success or
failure as the result of chance. It is something that shapes events,
opportunities and fortunes – and is beyond a person’s control. Belief in
luck would seem to hinge on the acceptance that events, even significant
ones, can happen by chance, without rhyme or reason, and that they do
happen continuously in the human experience. Some consider it to be an
actual attribute of a person, (“That lucky devil!”) Others believe it can
be purchased, or traded for, prayed for or pleaded for. Clearly it can be
good or bad.
Personally, I lean more toward the view expressed by the well-known
saying: “The harder I work, the luckier I get!”
A ten-year study concluded that for the most part, people make their
own luck due to the following:
They are skilled at creating and noticing chance opportunities.
They make good decisions by listening to their intuitions.
They create self-fulfilling prophecies by having positive
expectations and taking action.
