SPEAK UP

BEYOND THE Wall: A new mindset By K.K. Tan

WHAT IS LUCK?

 

It’s a simple word yet highly complex.  It has plagued mankind since the dawn of civilization and ever since human became superstitious.  Most of us have an innate believe that we deserve, at some time in our lives, to be lucky, to get something big that we want or need.  The issue of luck is also dependent very much on timing.  We often hear people say that the success of their efforts is due to good timing.

The focus on luck is one one’s health, wealth, safety and security/  the biggest interest for most people is seeking the services of such luck consultants is on how to become richer or wealthier and stay that way.  There are no standards regulating the services of luck consultants, so many innocent people fall prey to fraudsters who made all kinds of claims on their ability.

Often, you can work hard and do everything you can in pursuit of something you want but you still require that one crucial element of life – luck.  Without it, we cannot get what we want.  Working hard and doing all the right things are the essential aspects or pre-requisites of success.  But, the final aspect to success is the element of luck or the absence of bad luck.

Luck can be a funny thing.  It can sometime seems unjust, where in certain cases, some undeserving people do so little or do bad things and become successful of rich.  But, studies have indicated that people who are positive minded and who work hard and smarter tends to be luckier.  A common belief in most religions is that if you do good things, you would get lucky.

Conversely and more importantly, being unlucky or not getting what you want at time could turn out to be a ‘blessing in disguise’, for because of it, it might have saved you in future from a much more harmful or damaging disaster.  Therefore a failure or rejection can be a good thing.

Everything in life happens for a good reason and it is up to the person concerned to find out why.  Often, the reason may only be known or understood many years later.
