I came across this page in a work & life site. It refers more to work life there, but it can be common as I would like to reveal my gained points. I’m sure the author wants to encourage us not to be passive about what we want. It’s said there that “if you want a life, act like you mean it”. So, if you want something, do action as hard as you want it to come true. What we get is not gift from the sky. If you look at a friend or even a stranger’s life is so full of luck, get inside to find more reality. He/she might have put enough effort until getting the luck. When I was finally on thesis exam, a friend kept talking about my luck because of finishing thesis in a relatively short time and getting “nice” lecturers for the exam. It’s up to her, she wasn’t there with me during the sleepless nights. I just wish she realized, luck just plays a small role. It can play a giant role if you have a lot of good Karmas.
