luck!...luck is what?

'I feel lucky to be offered the job of my dream!'
'Lucky you!'
'Oh! Bad luck! - Better luck next time!'
'I am so lucky to have you in my life!'
'It was my luck that I came across that person and managed to get away with the deal!'

All of us, at some point in time, have heard and made such statements...have you really thought what exactly is luck?

There is a phrase that I came across years back - 'luck has a peculiar habit of favoring those who do not depend on it!'
It really makes sense in way...however, it is too elusive to comprehend isn't it?

There is another very interesting quote by Anthony Robbins who says - "the meeting point of preparation with opportunity generates the offspring we call luck."
How true is that - isn't it?

Trivial things - but it is so amazing to come across different perceptions...

    Yup, very very true.

    One of lines -
    "I am so lucky to have you in my life!"
    My perception -
    "May be its not that lucky, but its not so unlucky without you" :-)

  2. true. If we honestly look back when ever we were lucky we'd deserved it ;) we'd tapped into the opportunity ourselves! it was a natural flow, no extra efforts were required!

  3. @deepak: we said...that's a good one too :)

    @amrita: totally...the irony is that we realize it only when it has already happened :)
