Luck Cluck (Success)

Luck. What imagery does this word bring to your head? Well, definitely for most of you what comes to mind is a sort of a bright star which can be seen at a distance. This is what the perception of most people is of luck. But luck is only useful if you try and avoid it.

People who are looked at as successful by other people are also looked upon as having luck or they got to where they were by caso. The thing about luck is successful people view luck as being 'labour under correct knowledge'. Now, that has a few implications. It can mean you know what you are doing and have a clear goal and direction of where you are going. It can also refer to the technicalities involved and having them with you in the pursuit of your success. But the basic thing is that successful people do not allow luck to decide what they achieve or who they become. They will not say, "Well, maybe this'll work, maybe it won't, so let's try it and find out". These are the words of people who look at luck as the prerequisite for anything- sports, business, school, love or marriage success. The problem with depending on luck for success is that luck will rarely get you anything you want.

Luck is an evil and bastardly thing and it works exactly like a double edged sword. It can work for you or it can work against you, usually in greater degrees. If you count on luck to get where you want to go, you will go nowhere. You will fail. You will not succeed. The only people who succeed through luck are those people who have a plan and that plan meets an opportunity. My business partner told me of this and of course I agreed. It is when you have a plan prepared and ready, like a bag-packing for a great hike, that you will be lucky. And when you do succeed, you will say," Oh well, i was lucky".
