Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good; but the best of all is to be really good at luck.

Actually, I can't take credit for this bon mot. It's kind of an adaptation of a quote from The Color of Money.

Pure Luck is the positive outcome from one or more random events.

Tamarin,

A great way of putting it.

Before he promoted an officer to be a general, Napoleon used to ask "Is he lucky?" - acknowledging that some things are beyond our direct control, but we also have a role in creating our luck.

You hit it on the head, Tamarin.

"Luck is when preparation meets opportunity".

Is this to say that we can set goals for each day, or is that vision much larger than that? We can make choices about the food we eat. Hence, if they're healthy choices, and we have set a goal of eating healther, then we have made a small step towards that goal.

Luck I think is putting in the extra bit of effort to achieve what you want!

Good one, Chris. To me, it's setting a goal and working on reaching it.

Tamarin has it right. Luck is what happens when preparedness meets opportunity. It has been my experience that the harder one works toward a goal, the luckier he becomes

Luck is something we can't explain...but maybe it's because it's our justification of things that are good happening in our lives.

TAMARIN2087 I agree so much, luck is that place where preparation meets opportunity.

Not sure if this is what you meant, but I always subscribe to the adage "Luck is when preparation meets oppotunity".

Some people seem to have lots of "good luck" while others... well, not as much. To me luck is thinking ahead about what you want to happen. You don't even have to do anything about it. Just have a clear vision of what you want.

Everyday we are faced with dozens of choices about our attitude, our choice of words, where to eat lunch, etc. If you know in your mind what you would like to happen then every one of those choices will be influenced by that vision, even if its not in your conscious mind. Add up enough of those small decisions and it leads you to your goal. Of course, we don't recognize all the things that went into it, we just see those things we expected to happen, happening.
