Luck

From the ancient times when people started to understand and explain the world they made many assumptions about what exactly is luck, how can we affect it and why does it seem that some people have more luck than others.

Usually during our life we change many times our opinion about what is luck. In one moment we are sure it is something of minor importance and in the other moment we see something that makes us change our mind.

One popular theory about luck is that it is a number of random events that happen accidentally and influence our lives. This theory does not seem to explain why do some people have a lot of luck while others not. Maybe you have noticed that people with bad luck give too much importance on luck and decline their personal responsibility for it while the lucky ones hold that luck plays minor importance on their success.

Another popular theory is that luck is the result of pre-decided by someone or something (some name it god while others claim it is the movement of planets) facts. This theory is fatalistic and does not have a scientific explanation.

These are the most widespread theories about luck. Both present some common things.

In my opinion luck does not suit exactly to both of the above theories. I believe that luck is a number of random events that many times can be affected. For instance if we spend many hours exercising then it is not luck that we will have a good- shaped body. However, someone who does not exercise at all and expects a perfect body will claim that you are lucky to have one. This does not mean that this person is unlucky. Thus, I recommend that we should stop waiting everything from luck and start working. Besides as a great person once said: “The future does not happen accidentally. The future is created”
