Luck !

So I am back here, and when I saw the date of my last post I was surprised that it was 2 years back :-(. Time just flies. So now lets get back to business of why we are here.

Today i was thinking about LUCK. Not sure about you, but life has shown me many instances where i was forced to think that did this happen because me/he/she deserved it or was just Lucky. I feel its about being at the right place at the right time, and everything else just falls in place, as if it was supposed to happen.

Weather the only few questions you studied last night were the ones asked in exam, or the promotion one got just because there was a business requirement (may be company needed him/her just because everyone else left), or you got the admission to the college you wished(may be because other applicants screwed up or the adcom was in a good mood when they read your application), or put simply - The thing you wanted just happened. So will you call the above circumstances luck or was it something like the dialogue from a film "Agar kisi cheez ko dil se chaho to saari kaaynaat use tum se milaane mein lag jaati hai"

There is another line from the Poem of  Allama Iqbal "Khudi ko kar buland itna ke har taqder se pehle Khuda bande se ye poche bata teri raza kya hai". So is it about hard work, is it about being lucky, or is it purely just good timing, I don't know. It tough to decide which one it is.

If you believe in luck, you should watch the 2009 Hindi Movie "Luck", where they bet on someone else's luck. They have shown, that if you are lucky you can survive any difficulties.

I would just like to say, I believe in "Success is not about being Lucky, its about your attitude because everyone in the top 5-10% are equally lucky or talented, what sets you apart is the attitude. Period"
