Good point and my sentiments too. When I was a boy growing up self educating with Donald Duck, Uncle Scrooge, Gyro Gearloose, Gladstone Gander, with Huey Dewey And Louie I liked aspects of each character.

I taught myself to be them. Gladstone Gander was interesting because luck is supposedly just randomly lucky. But I learned to do it. A few years ago I read about psychologists studying lucky people. They found that it's not luck but being available to the lucky things.

Come to think of it, when I review things that have gone badly it's when I have become diligent and determined while ignoring the warning factors. Or otherwise broken the rules of luck.

Time to aimlessly wander about and be non productive is crucial. That presumes there is not urgent business at hand requiring full flight or fight mode.

It was only when he died that I learned it was the wonderful Carl Barks who created my lessons, not Disney who just got the rights.

Thank goodness for such great people.

I did get into an argument with a primary school teacher once as she marked my spelling of color wrong. She claimed it was colour. She would not accept her error and told me to check my dictionary when I got home. I did and learned that there is american and there is english.

Carl Barks was teaching me american. Which was fine by me as the stupid English comics were no match at all though I read them too. And anything. Back of the cereal package was good.

I guess you are lucky.

Luck is a crucial skill in life. Constant practise is required.
