    I'll try to elaborate on this.

    Yes, there are circumstances one could call "luck" but the fact is, if you don't do hard work, then you'll have less opportunities. And because of this law which is always at work, we can easily say there is no luck.
    No work= no luck
    A lot of work= a lot of "luck"

    It's obvious there is no luck then, it just comes down to hard work.

    Success is not luck, it's a consequence of trial and error

    that's a good one there! luck matters to me and i always keep my lucky coin in my pocket. even though luck matters somehow to me, i don't rely on luck all the time. i do my best. i do all i can and i pray over my magic coin. :)

    Yes, maybe you're right.
    They are still lucky as well. At least they are still alive.

    the previous statement is assuming you aren't stranded in a ridiculous extrapolation. Realistically the more you do something the more chances you have to succeed. But sadly, sometimes you succeed and try your best to be a good person, then you wake up one morning with all your stuff gone. That's life, I'm sorry to say but that's the only explanation there is.

    I mean, you try hard to succeed and good things happen or bad things happen and those things are sometimes completely out of control and you can't spend any time pitting yourself. If you cry every time tragedy strikes then you should celebrate every second it doesn't strike. Whether a piano falling from a building misses you by a month or a split second doesn't matter.
    If your not going to fall to your knees and thank god every time tragedy misses then don't bother crying when it strikes.
    If two cars are speeding towards a brick wall and one crashes into it seconds before the other, is the second car really that much better off?
    Its just life and life only, and it really is all just a dream

    Hi,

    You can say that 50% is luck and 50% is hard work.

    who's to say? I suspect that several times each day there is a starving homeless guy getting more "out of life" drugs and whatever homeless guys do. Its all relative. What does it mean to get MORE out of life. More of what you call life? Lol That's pretty self centered isn't it. Until there is an undeniable absolute ruler of earth, you can't claim one type of life is better than another. Well, you can claim it, but it's just your opinion. I'm sure a some people being tortured at Guantanamo Bay feel differently.

    Isn't it?

    Okay, listen up newbies. Lol.

    "luck" was a mythological imaginary goddess who never existed.

    When a tsunami comes, you better call out to Jesus.

    Neither Dr. Seuss, buddha, mohammad or any of the intellectual gurus are going to be able to help you if you're

    in the middle of the ocean when the tsunami comes.

    That's when you better have the blessing and favor of the Lord God Almighty upon your life or you are done for and not headed for a better a place either unless you have turned to Jesus for your salvation and made Him Lord.

    Not any of man's wisdom can save you, no formulas, none of the "I decided for myself" bullshit.

    None of that will save you when it comes down to it.

    Now, you asked for the truth so I gave you the truth.

    If you still have trouble eliminating the word "luck" from your vocabulary, then perhaps it will help you to use

    this acronymn for it in future conversations.


    L.abor U.nder C.orrect K.nowledge.

    The harder you work, the luckier you get.

    But, what devils hate for people who know to reveal is the truth.

    God confirms His covenant by blessing the work of your hands and the blessing of the Lord makes rich and adds
    no sorrow with it.

    Now, if you don't like it...tough titty.

    It's the truth and only the truth you know will set you free.

    Once you know the truth on a subject, you can no longer be enslaved by error or lies about it because you have it from the highest authority.

    Yep, He's the Lord God over the internet just like He is Lord over your household whether you choose to accept the truth or not, the truth is still very much the unchanging authority in full control every moment in every place
    at all times no matter what with no exceptions.

    Another one is F.alse E.vidence A.ppearing R.eal

    Perfect love casts out all fear because with fear there is torment.

    But remember when you were in your parents' loving arms or in the arms of loving adults when you were a child
    if you had that opportunity?

    You weren't afraid of anything because you were completely loved and protected.

    Well, the good news is, you are loved by God the same way.

    If someone has a problem with it, it's their problem.

    Now if you think I've missed it, then just be at least as smart as a horse.

    Chew up the hay and spit out the sticks.

    You know in your heart if what I have said is the truth or not.

    Don't grope around in the dark hoping for some luck that doesn't exist.

    Walk in the light of Jesus Christ and enjoy the full blessing of God.

    Any of the comments from those who will disagree are only based on trying to cover the truth and all their

    arguments will pass away.

    But the word of the Lord endures forever.

    Think about that.

    Doug
