This one cracks me up!

We must believe in luck. For how else can we explain the success of those we don't like? -- Jean Cocteau

All of us have bad luck and good luck. The man who persists through the bad luck -- who keeps right on going -- is the man who is there when the
good luck comes -- and is ready to receive it. -- Robert Collier

When I work fourteen hours a day, seven days a week, I get lucky. -- Dr. Armand Hammer

Success is just a matter of luck, all you need to do is ask a failure. History may be written by academics but it's rarely created by them. -- Source

Can a person be happy without being lucky or successful? I believe the saying was "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." Can we give someone luck? Or happiness? More likely we give them a form of "charity" or love. It might be money or opportunity. My question is should government be the instrument of this giving and my answer generally is no. I can see advantage during large scale disasters but there is no substitute for the face to face of giving and helping. If so, then child care would be equal to parenting and co-habiting equal to marriage.

They would have to admit that there are people out there who work hard and, through no
fault of their own, are NOT as successful as they would like to be.


It's obvious this at one time applied to you, what changed? I think we both know.
