"What sayest, Arkad? Because thou art the richest man in Babylon, many doproclaim thee to be the luckiest. Dost agree with me that no man can arriveat a full measure of success until he hath completely crushed the spirit ofprocrastination within him?""It is even as thou sayest," Arkad admitted. "During my long life I havewatched generation following generation, marching forward along thoseavenues of trade, science and learning that lead to success in life.Opportunities came to all these men. Some grasped theirs and moved steadilyto the gratification of their deepest desires, but the majority hesitated,faltered and fell behind."Arkad turned to the cloth weaver. Thou didst suggest that we debate goodluck. Let us hear what thou now thinkest upon the subject.""I do see good luck in a different light. I had thought of it as something mostdesirable that might happen to a man without effort upon his part. Now, I dorealize such happenings are not the sort of thing one may attract to himself.From our discussion have I learned that to attract good luck to oneself, it isnecessary to take advantage of opportunities. Therefore, in the future, I shallendeavor to make the best of such opportunities as do come to me.""Thou hast well grasped the truths brought forth in our discussion," Arkadreplied. "Good luck, we do find, often follows opportunity but seldom comesotherwise. Our merchant friend would have found great good luck had heaccepted the opportunity the good goddess did present to him. Our friend thebuyer, likewise, would have enjoyed good luck had he completed thepurchase of the flock and sold at such a handsome profit."We did pursue this discussion to find a means by which good luck could beenticed to us. I feel that we have found the way. Both the tales did illustratehow good luck follows opportunity. Herein lies a truth that many similar talesof good luck, won or lost, could not change. The truth is this: Good luck canbe enticed by accepting opportunity."Those eager to grasp opportunities for their betterment, do attract theinterest of the good goddess. She is ever anxious to aid those who please her.Men of action please her best."Action will lead thee forward to the successes thou dost desire."60Brought To You Byhttp://TheDiamondsMine.com
