Luck is considered favorable (good luck) when the player's position improves and negative (bad luck) when it worsens. A good poker player is one who is "running good" (playing successfully and winning). Almost all sports involve some element of chance. In baseball, football, and basketball, for example, an athlete may be given a certain number of chances to score or win before the game is over. If he fails, then the game ends in a tie. In many cases, the outcome depends on whether or not the ball bounces your way or not. If it does not, then you lose even though you played accurately. If it does, then you win even though you made mistakes.
In games with clear rules, such as chess or bridge, there is generally more control over how luck affects the outcome. In these cases, an athlete can improve his position by making wise decisions rather than by luck. For example, if playing chess, a player might choose when to attack and when to defend to increase his advantage over his opponent. Or, if playing bridge, a person can try to avoid being the first to reach 30 points by playing carefully against aggressive partnerships.
In games with no clear rules, such as blackjack, poker, dice, etc., the outcome is largely dependent on what happens by accident.
Success or failure as a result of chance is referred to as luck. "Fortune mostly refers to success or good fortune."
Fortune, fate, and luck are all similar words that describe what happens in life like happiness, success, failure, etc. They are all outcomes that not everyone receives, but many people do. Some people say they can influence these things through hard work or diligence, but most people don't have that kind of control over their lives.
To call something luck is not only accurate, but also appropriate. If you receive good fortune then thank God or whatever higher power you believe in, if you fail then learn from your mistakes and try again later.
Winning the lottery; obtaining a good grade on a test by just guessing at the answers; tossing a basketball from 3/4 court and having it go through the hoop; and hitting a hole in one from 200 yards in golf are all examples of luck (unless you are Tiger Woods). Luck is when preparation meets opportunity.
It's not that fate is favoring you, it's just that you're getting what you prepared for. You cannot change what has already happened, but you can decide how you respond to it. So don't worry about luck, focus on preparation and trust your instincts.
People who are fortunate are more likely to perceive, generate, and act on opportunities. They make good judgments based on their gut instincts. They stay the course in the face of adversity and take more measured risks. They attempt to turn poor luck into good fortune by learning from their mistakes.
For example, if you hit while I strike out, then I will try harder next time. If I hit and you miss, then perhaps the bat needs sharpening. No matter what happens, we can only do our best. Sometimes that's good enough.
People who see many opportunities but fail to take advantage of them are unlucky. They don't get the chance because they're not present when it matters most.
For example, I could plan my attack strategy over the course of several days before the match. But if someone else beats me to the punch, I'll lose my opportunity. I could spend all day waiting for my chance, but if someone else gets there first, I won't be able to take advantage of it.
People who are lucky are also lucky enough to find opportunities that others have missed. They receive help from outside sources when they need it, or encounter circumstances that allow them to take advantage of opportunities that others aren't able to see.
Luck has an important influence in life, both positively and negatively. There can be no exact pattern for how chance has impacted people's lives from time to time, but it has played a key role in a few events that have completely turned people's life upside down. These events include winning the lottery, getting hit by lightning, and finding money buried in your yard. All lucky people need to do to keep this good fortune coming their way is to remember to thank God every day for their blessings.
When things go our way because of luck, we should not get carried away and think that we are better than other people. Sometimes poor people become lazy or mean when they win the lottery, and rich people begin to abuse their power. It is important to remain positive even if you are having trouble making ends meet each month. If you find yourself complaining about your situation or thinking negative thoughts, you will get nowhere with life.
All successful people were once beginners like everyone else. They may have had some kind of advantage over others, such as being born into a wealthy family or having a mentor who helped them learn what they needed to know, but this does not matter. What matters is that they took action and worked hard at their craft until they became experts. From then on, they were in control of their own destiny and could never look back.
There are many factors involved in becoming successful.
Luck is anything that happens at random through chance. Blessings are anything we expect as a favorable outcome. Something we wish for yet do not always get. Blessings stem from love and kindness. Luck, on the other hand, comes from nothing and anyone can be lucky. It is only through misfortune that some people become un-lucky.
For example, if I pull a penny out of a jar without looking, it's a blessing. If I put my hand in a bowl of pennies and don't take it out, it's a curse. Lucky coins may have special properties such as bringing good fortune or avoiding bad things, but they're still just pieces of metal with markings on them. Good thoughts and prayers never hurt either!
It's easy to think that blessings are reserved for others. That only certain people will ever experience love and happiness. But remember, everything that is done out of love and kindness will one day come back around. So stop waiting for blessings to fall into your life and make sure you give them every day. After all, you can't receive what you haven't given.
A talent is the capacity to quickly apply information in performance and execution. We know how to accomplish something, and we can do it when the time comes. Luck has three distinct characteristics: it works for a person and/or organization, it may be good or bad, and it is fair to anticipate something else to have occurred. People often say that they were lucky because something happened to help them, usually at a time when there seemed to be no way out.
Lucky people tend to believe that things will continue to go their way and that past events are indicators of future outcomes. If you ask someone who is not lucky if he is willing to change his situation, the answer you get most likely will be no. But if you ask the same person if he is willing to accept his current situation, the answer you get most likely will be yes.
The more you focus on what you can control (your actions), the less room there is for chance to fail you. If you focus on all those things that you can't control, then you are making your life risky and uncertain. Of course, risk and uncertainty are associated with danger; but also with opportunity and growth.
Luck favors the prepared mind. You are more likely to get what you want if you have considered possible consequences and planned ways to deal with them.
