 QUOTE of the WEEK:

"I believe life is a series of near misses.

A lot of what we ascribe to luck is not luck at all.

It's seizing the day and accepting responsibility for your future.

 It's seeing what other people don't see and pursuing that vision."

Howard Schultz

STORY FOR YOUR WEEK

Luck, Do You Have It?

By Catherine Pulsifer

 

As Thomas Jefferson once said, "I'm a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work, the more I have of it."

 Luck comes to those who work. You may think that other people are just plain lucky. Barbara Bush once said, "You don't just luck into things as much as you would like to think you do. You build step by step, whether it is friendships or opportunities." 

 The truth is, some people do not see the effort lucky people put in. Like everything else in this life, you must put in effort. To quote Zig Ziglar, "This I do know beyond any reasonable doubt. Regardless of what you are doing, if you pump long enough, hard enough and enthusiastically enough, sooner or later the effort will bring forth the reward."

 

Good fortune does not happen because of luck. When someone gets a promotion, some people see this as luck. If they took a closer look, however, they would soon recognize how much harder successful people have worked, how much effort they've given, and how much dedication and commitment they've demonstrated in order to go that extra mile. To quote Carl Zuckmeyer, "One-half of life is luck; the other half is discipline - and that's the important half, for without discipline you wouldn't know what to do with luck."

 

Robert Collier said it best when he said, "All of us have bad luck and good luck. The man who persists through the bad luck, who keeps right on going, is the man who is there when the good luck comes, and is ready to receive it."

 

So next time you feel like you don't have any luck, remember these quotes and keep on going - step by step, with enthusiasm, discipline and persistence and you will find luck!
