The famous German poet Ludwig von Gorthe once said, " Everything that I have I attribute to good luck, but I find that I'm twice as lucky when I work twice as hard ".

I believe the meaning of the word as we learn it when we are young and according to dictionaries, is a combination of circumstances that leads you to success - but my opinion is it all depends on how you see it and feel it - for example, when my mood is bad, I feel very unlucky. But when I feel good, that's when the best things happen to me - I am lucky when I am happy! So luck may not exist, (like your nose exists and you can see it and grab it), but it exists as a part of our "hope" sensation, and cannot be so easily described - after all, define "soul"... These are the thinghs (MEANINGS) that differenciate humans from all other living things on this earth...

Luck is what happened that shouldn't have happened, and is trivial enough to not be called a miracle.
Finding a penny on the sidewalk, that's luck. Finding a penny and bending down to get it just as a golfball would've beaned you in the head, that's a miracle.

We each make our own luck. Luck is what people call it when good things happen to you, but upon closer scrutiny, what was seen as "luck" by others is often something you have worked very hard for and planned.

There is no such thing as 'luck'. It's a quality we invented to describe good or bad fortune for which we have no explanation.

Luck is I guess being very fortunate in a way.

It's unexpected, unplanned good fortune.
