I find that by diffenition as I see it luck is simply the prepared mind meating opprotunity. Nothing more and nothing less. There for by having a mind that is open to possibility and is alway alert to possiblit and its protential is lucky. This of coarse dosen't have much in the way of random chance in regard to say picking the correct lotto numbers or betting on the corect numbers at a rulet table that is not luck it ios random chance and little more than kust that.
The kind of luck I'm talking about is the kind of luck where you always hear someone say owe I wish I would of or gee I reaaly sould of. Yet they don't do to fear of the unknown in large part and so they lose out. An example of this would be someone that says man you know I should havew bought that stock in Yahoo when it first came out. Maybe it's that person who say if only I would have known that that was going to be so big. The thing of it is that you and for that matter people you'll meet in every day life are the what ifers. Not doers. Which in large part was there choice, More over I'm not suggesting that you just take a risk at random rather that you owe it to yourself to take into account a vast multitude of considerations and analyze any situation throallt relative to taking a risk. Taht's what is known as a calculated risk.
In all actuallity Luck as webster defines it is in reality a myth. People who are into superstitous foder and mystic perceptions that the zodiac or that the desiny in this life are some way inpart or in whole predetermined by some stange and mysterius force at work are well in my humble opinion nuts. Desteny is what you create and luck to in the very same mannor as I would define if it were to exist would be as stated ealier. The prepared mind meeting opprotunity. Outside of this logic it can only be other wise seen as well frankly BS!
For the type of luck that most people talk about aor most commonly understand as luck is as also stated earlier just random chance. A statistical process of odds.
There is really nothing else all that complex or strange or unknown about it. Honestly.
