5.Luck Luck? Is that it, then? The other four items are in my control. I have
desire, I have a plan, I can get
knowledge, I am prepared to work hard. But luck? What can I do about that?
Actually quite a lot. Luck is really
wrong word, but it is what people use. It is what other people must have had when they succeed. It is what unsuccessful people think they never have.
But you can make your own ‘luck’. Successful people have often failed many times before they have their ‘lucky break’. But they have that burning desire and they have pick themselves up and start again. They redraw their plans and set out once again. They start again with a little bit more knowledge than they had before. And they work hard to succeed this time.
Substitute
word ‘resiliance’ for
word ‘luck’ and you are much nearer
truth. It is
abiliity to hang on in there and stay with it when things go wrong.
So follow your desire, make your plans, keep learning, and work hard. You can succeed. And......Good luck!
