Luck By Chance

I'm a great believer in luck and I find the harder I work, the more I have of it.

When you live for a strong purpose, then hard work isn’t an option. It’s a necessity.

Unless you are willing to drench yourself in your work beyond the capacity of the average man, you are just not cut out for positions at the top.

When you read on the above quotes written by some of the greatest philosophers we are all inspired by them and get on to work hard in our lives. Even though we decide that and we do really work hard in life to achieve the things we aimed there come instances in life when we sometimes look at an other person and say "How lucky He/She is. I wish I was like him/her". No matter how good life would be to us this thought comes to us sometime or the other for some of the aspect related to us. May thats because life is not perfect to us in all aspects. There would be something missing for all of us.

When we try to figure out what is it that makes one successfull - Luck or Hardwork? Preparation plays a vital important role in life success. When opportunity comes to a person who is prepared, he can take the opportunity. So if the luck knocks an unprepared mind, there is a high probability that he missed the opportunity and hence misses his luck.

A better word for Luck is opportunity. A person, who wants to learn more, who wants to accomplish something great in life, who focuses on only realizing his dreams, is bound to succeed and the right opportunity will definitely knock his door. We all get opportunities in our life sometime or the other and the ones who are able to grab those opportunities are the ones who are later sometimes termed as the LUCKY by the other who were not able to grab those opportunities. It is important being at the right place at the right time and I will add further WITH RIGHT KNOWLEDGE.

It is true that there might be many people who got success just of sheer luck. But since exceptions are not rules, we should not take these people as our role model as it is not necessary that if someone wins a game of poker and become millionaire, the same cards will open up for you too when you sit on the poker table.

If we are a student, we can do our best to concentrate on our studies and do as much hard work as we can and dont depend on luck saying the paper would be full of my favorite questions and I'll score without studying. If we are a college passout then we should give our best to crack the interview for the job which we always wanted to do with all the knowledge we have. If you are an employee, give your best to your job. If you have a dream to follow, start immediately on it.

Luck waits for no one. Before it comes, be prepared for it.

A Message to Remember...!

Recently a friend of mine sent me a very beautiful message which touched my heart as soon as I read it. The lines of the message said:

In life we all have an unspeakable secret
an irreversible regret
an unreachable dream
and an unforgetable love
But in the end its all about being
Happy anyhow.

There is something in this message that is very much connected to most of our lives. You cant stop living as something in life doesn't happen the way you wanted it to happen. Many times things don't go the way you want it to and you feel giving up on everything else just because of that one failure. A single not your way going incident in your life should not lead to not a single happy day after that.

When I read on in the newspaper headline that a student commits a suicide because he thinks he got less marks as per his parents expectation or when I come to know a friend of mine is no more in this world as he came under a train and died because the love of his life had to listen to her parents and marry someone else or when I see a father and a son not talking to each other all their life remembering not so good incidences in their life and forgetting all the other better moments they spent with each other and not understanding by not talking they are missing to be good moments of their present and future.

These things sound familiar to most of us. May be not and I really hope that they dont sound familiar to any one. I feel in such instances everyone of us has a choice. A choice to remember that one thing and regret for not making that one thing happen in your life or as the above message says a choice to still be happy and find alternatives to your failure on that one particular thing. I feel the 2nd choice sounds much more advisable. After all its not that difficult to stay happy.

May be there are few instances when you cant get over few things and feel sad about things not going your way but I guess there are solutions to get out of it. There are few things that you can do in times when you feel you are in deep pain and need help. May be a call to a friend would make you feel better or else meeting up a friend or may be your best friend can make your heart much more lighter. I dont read much but many of my friends say that books are your best friends so if you dont feel like calling or meeting up your friend you can turn to books and make them your best friend and feel better about your self.

May be better thing to do is to have faith in God and believe that whatever happens to us is written by God which is for our own good, it's just that we cannot see it now. There are many things in life apart from failures and we all should live forgetting the few bad moments in our life. When you get to live a life live it to the fullest so that few years down when you look back you dont have to turn back and say I should have enjoyed more and stayed a lot more happier than I did.

Staying sad is difficult but many of them choose to stay sad due to some regrets in life and staying happy is easier but still few instances makes it difficult for many of us to stay happy. As the above message states that no matter how unspeakable secret we have, how irreversible regret is there in our life, no matter how unreachable is our dream and how unforgetable love one has in the end we can always forget these things and remain and stay happy forever.

KEEP SMILING as it is the second best thing that you can do with your lips. I hope you understand what is the first best thing....! ;) ;) ;)
