Getting lucky.

Just try, if you are lucky you will get it. I have heard like a thousand people tell me that and

somehow I have managed to remain passive to it. Honestly speaking, am annoyed by anyone who

will tell me that (which is a lot by the way). If I was going for a lotto draw, that would be more than

appropriate , but if it’s an effort driven kind of achievement, I’ll just pass.

What is luck by the way? The English dictionary defines it as occurring by chance.

Mathematically that means there is 50% probability to succeed and 50% as well for failure.

Technically, It doesn’t really matter, how much efforts you put in, how many sleepless nights you’ve

had, or even how many sacrifices you made. It boils down to 50% for everyone. If anyone wishes me

luck, they implify that I have probably been working but I still got 50% chance of succeeding and

so I do need luck. Well, I don’t. I know how arrogant that may sound but I believe in a different kind

of universe. The one that works by the law of attraction, the kind that responds to persistence and

determination, and is isn’t just throwing success randomly.

When anyone we know succeeds, we go he’s lucky he’s smart, she’s lucky she’s got rich parents,

lucky this , lucky that. Guess what? Lucky doesn’t happen that much often and even if it does, it follows those who work for it. All these anecdotes are just an indication to how much discipline is

underrated. Bill Gates isn't wealthy because he is lucky he's smart and talented; he is surely smart

but we wouldn't be talking about him if he didn't put in at least 10000 hours with computers in high

school. Discipline for that matter creates luck, it produces hard work and sustains persistence.

Ralph Wado Emerson wrote; Shallow men believe in luck and circumstance, strong men ( and

women ) believe in cause and effect. What a way powerful way to summarize it all. Cause and effect, that's the discipline of the universe. I know we all want the easy way out but life doesn't work that way, and even with tough love it still is amazing..
