S EPARATE Y OURSELF

FROM THE

C OMPLAINING C ROWD

You Ca n Create Your Ow n Luck

ou may have heard the saying, “luck is when opportunity
Ymeets preparedness.” I agree. I’ve often heard people talk-
ing about how so-and-so is so lucky (as if to emphasize that they
themselves are not lucky). I think what’s really happening is the
complainers aren’t “working themselves into luck.” If you want
to be lucky, prepare for something big.
Sure, it might be more fun to watch movies but unless
you’re going into the film industry, it’s not the best use of your
time. Developing your talents requires work, and work creates
luck. Having this attitude toward success is a great way to set
yourself on a rewarding course for your life.
