Consider ‘Luck’

On a recent trip to a local store, the manager asked me to fill out a ticket for the drawing they were having for Mother’s Day. As I was filling it out, I stated casually that I am never lucky at such drawings or at lottery. She added, but you are lucky more than you know. If your car broke down irreparably, you could afford to go buy a new one. I am not so sure that is my definition of ‘luck’ as I have worked extremely hard my entire life, saved, and drove cars way past their expiration dates. To me they are just means to get from point A to point B in a safe way. Yet she inadvertently made the point that ‘luck’ has a different meaning and definition for different people – some agree, and others disagree in their definition and interpretation of ‘luck.’
