We are Really Lucky
Luck often doesn't follow hard workThe other day I read a well crafted article on luck. I am thinking about luck and no luck. It is often said that "Luck favors those who deserves it". Is it that simple? We often work hard. We think that it would produce fruits of lucks. Sometimes it works. But not always. And not for all. Often it never work for many.
Definition of luck is different to people of different economic status
Think about the poorest strata of the world population. Do they get lucky by working hard? They work for hours just to feed themselves. Sometimes their hard work can't even get them enough money to buy food and build a basic shelter. Many of them remain starved for days and nights. Many of them sleep under the trees. Many of them make their home on the foot paths of the city.
Luck is somewhat bounded by the socio-economic status
Do luck favors the poor? Their lives remain in the dark forever, generation after generation. How do you reason these facts of hard truths? They and their fortune are bounded by the social and financial disharmony.
We are really lucky that we have food, clothes and a home to live
We are really lucky that we get food, clothes and we have a home to live. We get opportunity to study and work, send our children to school. We have extra-curricular activities. We have an additional life beside our profession. We enjoy reading and writing. We use the Internet. We can write and exchange our views with our Internet friends.
It is my humble thought about lucky and unlucky. By beBee standard, it may be considered as "anti-honey". Will you write a comment on an "anti-honey"?

Thanks a lot Lada \ud83c\udfe1 Prkic for your time to join and support my points. In fact luck is more a casual than a serious word we often use everyday. When we say "Best of luck" we give only best wishes. When we say, "Hard luck", we only console ourselves. A little bit of success can over rule all bad lucks. It is true that hard work may sometimes yield that success.

That is true Pascal Derrien, I also don't like the terms "honey" and "buzz". Thanks for your comment which helps to give a meaning to my post.

Thanks a lot @Harvey Lloyd for your valuable time to write a detailed comment. You have explained my points with the phrase "generational poverty". It requires a great motivation and strong will power to work hard and overcome those barriers of "generational poverty". Whether we believe it or not, luck is a word we often over use, by wishing someone "Wish you good luck". I always feel that we are lucky that we can exchange views and can think not only to improve our lives but also to help others.

Thanks a lot Ali \ud83d\udc1d Anani, Brand Ambassador @beBee for your insights. I agree that without hard work nothing improves. when success knocks at the door following hard work, we say "we are lucky". But, for the poor, It is more difficult to get that rarer gift called luck even after putting a heavy dose of hard work.

Thank you so much Laurent Boscherini for your insights. Luck is a myth which may be changed by hard work. There is no doubt about it. Serendipity is another mystery followed by luck.

Thanks Joyce \ud83d\udc1d Bowen Brand Ambassador @ beBee, so you are not alone in that "un-lucky boat", I also have that "magnet", often weak though, but it attracts lot of "un-luck" and hence creates "anti-honey"
