Luck

It has been a day filled with events that many would chalk up to the idea of luck. Beginning with a nice fortune cookie that instructed to me: "Your new plans will yield you success," and continuing to the easiness of a particular midterm and concluding with the most epic, yet horrific in ways conclusion to a soccer game.

In terms of luck, I say to you: call it whatever you want.

Personally, I think that luck is closely correlated to outlook. Those who feel good about themselves, who really latch on to a good day and know it, are rewarded with better outcomes. People who are downers and complain a lot have a lot to complain about when "unlucky" things happen.

It is pretty fascinating when you think about it. The problem is that it can be highly addictive. That is, the positive people may feel withdraws when they don't get the constant high of rewarding moments, while the downers may feel envious of the optimists for their good fortune.

At the end of it all though, one doesn't need luck if they can make luck.
