[QUOTE="OldSchool101, post: 760642, member: 10086"] To me the word “Luck” reminds me of the word “Coincidence” IMO, both are futile attempts to deprive the recipient of their part in the outcome. While the timing certainly has to be there there are steps involved in putting you in those circumstances to “Luck Out” Not just one, but hundreds and even sometimes thousands of decisions you had to make to get you there. If you go out and buy a lotto ticket and win the Mega Millions, Noone would argue that many would call that luck. I’d argue that Luck is when you put forth effort of preparation and it meets good timing. For instance, you still had to get up that morning, make sure you timed it when the store would be open. You then had to put your shoes on and make an effort to go to the store. You also had to make the effort to get the $$ that it took to pay for the chance to win. Was it Luck you decided to spend hard earned $ or was it a conscious decision to buy that ticket and make sure you qualified your answer to fit within the parameters of how the game is played? (Btw there are actually people who have won the lottery multiple times) talk about Lucky! :tdown: You then had to keep track of the ticket without losing it. Finally you had to follow the lottery closely to ensure your numbers matched. The lottery doesn’t come find you when they draw the winning numbers. They know where the ticket was sold and if someone won way before anyone claims the prize. Lottery makes you track the ticket. Then you had to verify those numbers to make sure it was a match. Ironically one of the most famous quotes I’ve heard concerning “Luck” was by the Legendary Jack Youngblood. He was quoted as saying.. “Good Luck is a residue of preparation”. I honestly don’t think of the word luck as “no effort” like many do. [/QUOTE]
