Do you consider yourself lucky?
« on: September 20, 2007, 02:40:44 am »
A British psychologist, Richard Wiseman, claims that nobody is born lucky, which begs the question:

What!... not even Kylie Minogue?

So do YOU consider yourself a lucky person?

I voted "Definitely," but it would probably be more accurate to say that I was fortunate, rather than lucky.   :D

The very fact alone that I was born in this blessed country, Australia, makes me feel very fortunate, indeed!  :D

I feel very lucky at times!


Tell him when l come up to him and ask to play the record, l'm gonna say: ''Voulez-vous jouer ce disque?''
'Voulez-vous, will you kiss my dick?'
Will you play my record? One-track mind!

Sure, there have been times I've felt very lucky indeed, but I wouldn't characterize most of my life as lucky. And I definitely feel I have had my share of bad luck.

Philosophically, I don't put too much stock in the concept of 'luck'. I think everything that happens in our lives happens for a reason, and in fact I think we will it into existence, for the sheer pleasure of experiencing it. Thus, I'm a lot closer to the idea of 'fate' over 'luck'. But the feeling of luck, both good and bad, is certainly one part of most people's lives.

heheheh - she has a fab figure and had a fab career - but shes had a rough year or so what with her breast cancer.

And she can never seem to find a decent guy... micheal hutchenson was one and then that french guy that cheated on her.

I meant those of us who can afford computers are far better off than many, many people in the world, in terms of material goods, nutrition, health care, safety, clean water, etc.

LUCKY????   With the childhood I had??  No F***ing Way!   

What I am is tenacious, persistant, stubborn and determined to overcome the great difficulties I've had in life.    So, ok, yeah, I guess anyone blessed with that amount of self determination might be lucky... So, I didn't think I was when I was younger, but I got a little luck in me, yeah...

Wow, I never talked myself out of something so quickly before!

This certainly makes sense to me...thank you for clarifying.
