Luck!! WTF??

Everyone of us has had his share of successes and failures. Some succeed tremendously, where as others may not have a profound count of the same. But can you always track your success/failure down to just one thing, luck??

People have various mind boggling ways to keep themselves lucky, and many weird talismans. Some take the same road daily, some wear the same coloured socks, some have got stone-studded rings to keep themselves 'lucky'. And the most of these weird practices surface when there are examinations around. I've even known a guy who did not change his inners during the 20 day exam schedule saying they proved lucky for him. And there's no denying that all of us tried something as weird(or even more) at some point in our lives . And later, when I looked at all this, there was just one thought that came to mind, Luck! WTF??

Friends, there's no such thing called 'luck'. There's always just one universal law that governs your share of success, and that is, 'As you sow, so shall you reap'. And try to ponder over all your instances of successes or failures, you'll always narrow down to an epiphany that the results that you ended up with were the outcome of putting the right amount of hard work(or the lack of it). Think of this, were you always successful with your talisman around?? Or were you always on the loosing end without it?? You well might end up with an obvious answer, 'No'(if you have yes as your answer, you aren't experienced enough my friend).

I don't say you should stop believing in luck, what I intend to say is don't over depend on your luck. Because, once you do so, you slacken up. For instance(god forbid), if you have a streak of failures that hit you, and you blame them all to luck, you won't be able to rectify yourself and prepare for the next battle thats heading your way. If you think you worked too hard and didn't get the reward in accordance to it, you probably have to rethink over 'how hard is hard enough'. You'll always get what you deserve, always, and that is bound to happen. It might be a time-dependant factor though, but success would come to you, come what may. All you've got to do is focus on your goal, and work towards it, undetered, relentlessly and constantly. And I can guarantee you that there's no goal thats hard enough, no feat you cannot achieve.

So friends, the next time your friends talk about a famous palmist down the street, or how lucky/unlucky they were the last time they took exams, you know what you've got to say(if you still don't, read the title again).. :-)
