Good but since I have zero luck it would be nice once in a while to be lucky

Satisfaction in doing something well.

Luck isn't reliable; skill is.

I think 'luck' is mere coincidence or happenstance. It's erratic and not reproducible. Performers don't sit around backstage and hope that they'll be lucky for tonight's show.

If luck exists and a person "had" it, it would compliment their learned, trained or natural ability.
I've heard the phrase used mostly re: fishing. Both skill and either luck or random chance play a large role in catching. In other pursuits, luck (or random chance) has far less to do with it.

One of my passions is playing pool (pocket billiards), which I'm good at, for an amateur of my age. I often hear the phrase, "better to be lucky than good." It is usually said after someone makes a ball through an unintended path. But, over a period of time, luck rarely enters into a game of pool with good players. The better player almost always wins.

I can be good at something all my life but lucky only off and on.

if you are good at something its repeatable some random event you judge as good luck may happen again but is not repeatable on demand

i have never heard that, and i sure wouldn't hear it from my own lips. but one makes one's own luck, to an extent. yeah you can be unlucky and be at a concert, for example where suddenly there is a shooter -- you can hardly be expected to be able to predict that and be blamed for being in the wrong place at the wrong time, but on the other hand, one expression i have heard is "opportunity only knocks once," meaning you have to be AWARE of your luck and take advantage of it, or it's meaningless. that means being good at something, even if what you're good at is recognizing opportunity.

Luck is an imaginary concept dependent on situations; family; abilities; and various other variables.
