Blame it on your 'Luck'!!!

Its not about How Hard you can hit...Its about how hard you can get hit and keep Moving Forward-Rocky Balboa [2007].
LUCK...4 alphabets....L-U-C-K....This is a word that i have heard one too many times in the past couple of days.Not that i have`nt heard of it before but it definitely hurts when all your efforts, all those sleepless nights you spent planning to achieve something is in the end defined by some sucker as a four syllable word. This is how it goes-when you are down for the count some 'symphatizer' says 'Hard Luck' and when you are on a winning spree- all your efforts bearing fruits at last people just say 'wow he is really lucky'.
So that brought a question to my mind- what is luck??it certainly cannot be divine intervention because life is too good to be a myth.
SO WHAT IS THIS LUCK????????????
Luck as I have realized is not due to the rabbit`s foot around somebody`s wrist nor is it the talisman you bought at the carnival.Luck is the sickest syllable used to derecognize somebody`s efforts and potential and ultimately try to hide the fact that one was not good enough to do it and prove that the so-called 'Lucky One' is blessed to be where he/she is.
So I ask this question-Did Edmund Hillary feel lucky to be the first man at the top of the world or was a deaf boy who wasn't good enough for primary school but grew up to be Thomas Alva Edison Lucky??
So ultimately i say Luck is a word that personifies Sarcasm at its best and it is a cruel weapon used over centuries to degrade somebody`s efforts and Lady Luck is only a pale shadow of the embodiment of somebody`s efforts and potential.The next time someone blames it on luck just remember
"The only thing that does not change about luck is that it is ever changing."

Underestimated??









An eagle,a cat,a dolphin and an eccentric eel entered a skills school.
The eagle,cat and dolphin scorned at the eel and did`nt give it a dream of a chance to succeed.....
The bird scored A in flying but got F in digging and swimming...
The bird tried to dig and swim ended up eith broken beak and torn wings only to degrade in flying too..
The cat got A in digging but failed in the other too..
it leaped off a cliff to fly ..only to break its limbs...and fail in digging..
The dolphin never got out of the water..and had to be satisfied with an A in swimming..
The eel got C in all the categories and ended up as the class valedictorian.
