Don't get me wrong: I think that everyone should put forth an effort to do better, but let's face it, some of us are just plain luckier than others.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm a lot luckier than most people, although I used to look at it the other way around-that so many people seemed luckier than me.
I'm not saying people shouldn't apply themselves and work hard. You do have to try to make your own luck. But I know people firsthand who worked incredibly hard, who were really smart, who never got into trouble, and still didn't get a break.
We must believe in luck. For how else can we explain the success of those we don't like?
Not many people have had as much bad luck as I have, but not many people have had as much good luck, either.
Good luck happens to people who work hard for it. Sometimes people just fall into the honey pot, but I've consistently strived to create whatever good fortune I can get in my life - and consistently strive just as hard not to screw it up once I have it!
I'm a big believer in luck - the harder you work, the luckier you become.
The harder you work, the luckier you get. I'm a big believer in that.
I am a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work the more I have of it.
Luck is always the last refuge of laziness and incompetence.
I believe that people make their own luck by great preparation and good strategy.
