There is a finite amount of luck on the planet. The distribution varies.

My old Aunt used to tell me that our family was lucky. And I have always found it to be true. But I suspect that having the confidence of "feeling lucky" has a lot to do with seeing & catching opportunities rather than missing them.

Mind you, my old Aunt got knocked off her motorbike in her mid-60's, so perhaps she wasn't so lucky after all. :roll:

If you see a chance, have a GOOD think about it, but don't let it go unless you are sure it's not for you.
