“Every day is a new day. It is better to be lucky. But I would rather be exact. Then when luck comes you are ready.”

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane or off topic. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
Random chance plays a certain role in life, but I've found that many who are called lucky are really diligent and willing to take risks. They put themselves in situations where the odds are best for a favorable outcome.
ReplyDeleteYou can't make fish bite, but you CAN fish where the fish are and use the bate they like. If you cast into trees you'll never eat.
