A lot of times in our lives we wonder how much we can do to make things better for ourselves and people around us. We try hard to earn a living, to make a name for ourself, to fulfill all our dreams. Everyone’s goals and ambitions may be different at the surface. But the eventual goal is the same. Happiness, fulfillment, achievement.

How we go about it, may be different for different people. People who make it,  feel like they have achieved all they ever wanted. But is this really something they got to, or just stumbled upon? Was is just a random turn of events that led them there? The pat on their shoulder that they gave themselves, was that for nothing?

This leads you to wonder, how capable you yourself are? Was the smallest achievement that you thought you had, a matter of pure coincidence? Luck they say! How far can luck take you? Apparently in some people’s case too far!

Brilliance you then see, is pure luck. A dumb guy sitting in a casino all day, saying ‘hit me’ and making a killing, is not brilliant. But luck is his favor. All the other players are merely spectators and wondering, is the guy counting cards? He must have really done his homework! He’s really good at this.

Isn’t life the same way? We look at people everyday who are admired as being the most brilliant people on the face of this earth, but in reality, lady luck smiled on them a little more than she did on the rest of us.

The question then is, was the fact that they got to where they are pure luck? Or did they have control over the circumstances they created that led them there? The answer is something we will forever wonder about.
