Luck is the euphoria of an unexpected result purely by participation of an event. We regard someone as lucky when they beat the odds. Unfortunately the human being also base critical decisions in life on this superstition.
I have observed people in all walks of life and came to one conclusion, and that is no matter how educated or rich you are, you can be the victim of luck. Yes you read it right, the victim.
Luck is actually a myth that destroys many peoples life’s. Instead of dispelling the myth and analyzing the facts, we base rash decisions based on an emotion created by adrenalin. We get excited by the idea of playing against the odds.
Take gambling. The people that play it are all just hoping on a little bit of luck. But it is actually a mathematical game. If you sat and thought rationally, then you would never attempt it. We should veer away from luck and place our hopes in hard work.
People are fast to part with their money when they feel lucky but they are hesitant to part with it should it not retain any financial gain for them. The beggar in the street would come and ask you for enough to buy food, but yet instead you would rather take your chance in the lottery. Do we trade our social responsibility for luck?
Just for today take a look at luck and re-evaluate how much of an impact it has in your life. How many times do you refer to luck and how many times in your life have you made uninformed decisions against the mathematical facts?
