Do you believe that life is mostly about luck?
Yes and who you know.
Who you know depends on luck.
@Roadster lol, yes and I was thinking that as I typed it! ?
@Donotbelieve it is for sure!
Not all of it.
Where you were born and to what family, yes.
When and how you will die, yes.
Everything in between, no. That part is about leveraging opportunities and good risk assessment skills.
I think life is more about your ability to adjust and plan. I'm told that I'm very lucky, but many of those things I have prepared years for.
Its a matter of where you are located at a certain period of time - who you meet, what influence they have in your life and how you respond to it. Almost a game of chance.
No such thing as luck-luck is for those who want to give away control from their lives. To blame bad descisions in life on luck. The latter is akin to a religion to me and to be honest I disagree with the concept.
I think we have different words for different situations. 1-To me, luck is having a bad accident and coming out of it without a scratch. 2-than there is chance, as in you meet someone who may bankroll your great idea. 3-Then there is, being in the right place at the right time when you buy your winning lotto thicket. After all said and done, if you are a good, decent, considerate and hard working person, you may not need any of these with the exception of no. 1.
There is a high degree of randomness associated with life. For humans, the randomness can be dealt with, but not always satisfactorily. From the way the question is worded, I have the feeling you meant 'fate'.
You make your own luck, or so an old friend told me. Mine is mostly not very good and it can't help affecting my general optimism. The distribution isn't fair, but neither is life, so we take what we get. Ocasionally good fortune shines on me enough to make the down times more palatable.
Initially, yes. What sort of human you are determines your future life..which culture, race, religion, gender, and time era you are born into. For instance, no matter how talented you are it won't do much good if you were born a crippled, blind, black woman in the South during the early 1800s.
You are luckey if you have luck. It is always good to have a plan for the future. Then let luck fall where it may.
