either born lucky, so so lucky, and unlucky? And that just applies in everyday situation. I mean certain people no matter what, just seems to have the touch.

i saw a tv program on cable that tried to scientifically examine that question. what they did was that they took a bunch of people and put them, unknowlingly, in situations where they could get "lucky." For example, they had their subjects travel a walkway and put a $20 bill on the ground to the side. some people were "lucky" and found it and others missed it completely. i remember them showing how some people walk with their heads down, avoiding eye contact with others.

Apparently the phrase "you make your own luck" is a good philisophy to live by because they determined that people with a better outlook on things, people who were more confident, sociable, etc..." were far more lucky than those who weren't.

i believe luck can give you opportunities but that's just half of it...the other half is taking that opportunity. two people can find $1000, one spends it, the other invests it for his kid's college fund who later becomes a doctor.... who was more "lucky?"

for me... i believe i've been very lucky!! (we are excluding slots, right?

)

I believe that everything depends on people, if they want they will be lucky, healthy, rich and etc. Every man can achieve everything. It's important to believe. Our brain can make impossible.

One mans 21 year old daughter gets killed in car wreck, his house burns down and the insurance company won't pay up, his only surviving child comes down with a terrible life altering disease (no insurance because the child was 23 and seemed in good health), a full IRS audit with lots of penalties, all in two years.... Is that bad luck or what?
