Most things I have wanted I have achieved. I have quite a normal life but it seems that I have a bit of sparkle in it. I am born on St Patricks Day (have Irish parents) .

Answer 1

Yes I am believe in that I am really lucky person. First of all I love myself accepting my all weak and strong ways through the life. Second, I enjoy living, breathing, thinking, praying, helping, loving, and doing all good things. I enjoy listening to people's problems and trying to find out the solution to them.

And believe that most of people could not think like that. So there are always wars, problems in the world.

So I am really lucky person.

now i will ask you Do you believe in Luck?

Do you believe that many, if not all, of the people who have become outstandingly successful rich, or famous were just lucky? Indeed, IS there such a thing as luck at all?
As I read through self-help material, I am constantly being told that "there is no such thing as luck". In fact, Brian Tracy has a program out called "The Luck Factor", and the whole premise is that you basically make your own luck. I have heard other popular speakers go even further and say that there is no such thing.
For a while, I believed this to be true, but these days I do wonder. You see, many of these speakers point to extraordinarily successful individuals, and then go on to show how these people MADE their own success, and that luck had little to do with it.
Now this may be true in part; maybe even for the most part. However, the strange thing is that when you ask many of these self-same examples of success about it, they DO believe in luck, or else they make it very clear that they personally never expected to achieve the level of success that they have achieved. In other words, it really wasn't such a big picture intention-filled plan, as many people would have you believe.
Donald Trump admitted to believing in Luck in a recent interview. Along with another factors that most self-help gurus would nod their heads sagely about, Bill Gates also once admitted that a large part of his initial success was down to Luck. Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones once said that when they started out, their big ambition was to be the biggest band in.... London! And Oprah Winfrey, America's first black woman billionaire, said that she once figured that if she could make a MILLION dollars in her entire life, she would have considered herself a big success.
All these examples, and many more, make it clear that sometimes extraordinary success overtakes the people experiencing it. It's almost as if their own vision was too small for what eventually happened to them. There is a lot to be said for finding and surfing a tidal wave!
Now, all of this is not to say that personal growth principles do not play a very LARGE part in a person's success, and in differentiating that person from the crowd. However, it may not be EVERYTHING, which is the way the personal growth gurus might have you think.
Of course, on a bigger picture view, they are right. If we look at our lives from a metaphysical karmic perspective, pretty well all that happens to us happens for a reason. It is only from the human personality consciousness perspective that we fail to see the consequences of our previous actions - maybe in previous lives - and hence attribute what happens to us as good or bad luck.
However, from the ground level perspective of human daily living, it IS hard to attribute everything that happens to a person as a result of their failure or success in applying success principles.
So what do you think? What does Luck have to do with it?...

Answer 3

Many people have good lives with lots of happiness, but it is a different thing to be lucky. Sometimes I get really lucky, and other times I don't. But I think we all have some luck about some little things, though good fortune in life is something else.

Answer 4

You do seem to be quite lucky, I am not lucky in the same way as you, but I think I make my own luck by thinking of the future and going with my feelings. I do not tend to win raffle prizes, but I do what I want to do. I am currently saving money to go to university and by 2008 I think I will have saved enough.

Answer 5

I don't, but it is a good thing to do so. People who think they are lucky are healthier and live longer.

Responding from recollection, I think that there is a psychologist called Wiseman at the University of Hertfordshire in England who researches this question. Try looking up his research details on the university's website.

Answer 6

I'm a naturally unlucky person, but I don't worry about bad omens or curses, I just prepare for the worst and make the most of what I've got.

Answer 7

I used to think so too, but after taking a hard look at myself and what I have gone through, I think it's fair to say that most of my accomplishment are the result of my hardworking

Answer 8

if there was no such thing as bad luck i wouldnt have any luck at all......cos i am the most unlucky person in the universe...

Answer 9

I think I am like you. It is called serendipity.
