Generally speaking, I believe that people, who are proactive in life, will be lucky or find luck. There are exceptions to every rule, however, in my experience, proactive people find luck. People who are proactive in being successful in achieving something, whether that being a career, or being good at something, can find luck in multiple ways. One way is success with a good career, good income, and stability. One could be lucky in being good at a sport, and achieve higher levels of recognition through
Oprah wasn’t lucky to have such a successful career. She worked hard at being ready to take on the task of establishing a successful career. Oprah wanted to let the masses know that by preparing yourself for whatever may come your way, is the only option we have in receiving an opportunity to better our circumstances. It is definitely not a far-fetched notion that great things happen to ‘lucky’ people. Frankly, luck or being lucky is such a subjective word. Many years ago in my career, I received

” This was my immediate response after I read an article from CNN.com by Emily Lodish, called “What’s wrong with eating dog meat?” This article has undoubtedly made me feel repulsive about the traditional custom of eating dog meat in China and Korea. Their societies have neglected to pay high concern to mistreatment of dogs. In my opinion, eating dog meat should be banned. While reading this article, it also brought back a painful memory of mine. When I was in middle school, my family had
analysis of my environment and observation makes me land onto my second question, why do some people seem to be the only ones who get lucky time and again yet others fail repeatedly? Based on my two questions, I totally agree with Winfrey when she proclaims, luck is a matter of preparation meeting opportunity. Since time immemorial nothing has ever created excitement associated with luck as much as betting or gambling. The idea of chance at its best is what defines betting and thus forming my basic

I come back to you every day without fail to scream and cry at the world in written form. I’m lucky to have you diary.

Many times in life I found myself complaining or thinking that others had a much better life than I did. For a long time, I believed that happiness in life was associated luck. Thinking that only some lucky humans came to this world to enjoy it and the rest came to suffer.

This book tells the story of Hazel
Looking back it never dawned on me how many privileges were just given to me. I didn’t have to earn the right to continue my education, be a primary candidate for a summer job, or have food on the table every day. My parents may have, but I didn’t. There are kids all over the world who do not share these advantages with me, and why? I never understood why this separation occurred. Then I started to realize how past white cultures went into the non-white areas of the world and began dominating
Carolina. My parents tried to escape to Canada, where I would be safe. The hope of going to Canada was crushed when my family and I were captured. I was sold to a ruthless slave owner. The slave owner’s name was John Cavemen. He was extremely brutal. John would whip us 6 times if we sung spirituals. Spirituals were songs that we sung while we worked. When he wasn’t around we would sing. Every day is a tiring day. We felt like we had run 9 miles because of the exhaustion of the day. My job was simple
Overcoming The essay “Superman and Me” by Sherman Alexie is about how he taught himself how to read at a very young age. Being an Indian he was expected to fail. However, he was lucky. He overcame the obstacles and barriers that society put on him. To me his essay is about more than just learning how to read; it is about refusing to fail and overcoming the obstacles in life, no matter how old you are. I relate to Sherman Alexie's attitude about not failing. “I [also] refused to fail” (Alexie
I faced with my family, but that I have survived and managed to make a life with my family in this new place. My family’s decision to come to America, to escape the famine, was a difficult one, yet one of necessity. We were not among the lucky ones, who could afford first or even second-class passage.

(In other words, when they first became adults, what did they expect their roles to be in the family, and did that change over the years)? My mom’s response was how I pictured it to be. When she got married at 21 she had no idea what her future
