Lucky

I really like the word "lucky" - because Luck is the great equalizer. You don't have to be rich, or smart, or a hardworker. You could be the kindest person, or you could be the bitchiest person - but still be lucky. There is no scientific explanation for "luck" !

Look at Charice and Arnel Pineda - I think there are a lot more Filipinos who are better singers , but they got lucky! Manny Pacquiao, lucky (Jinkee Pacquiao, luckier!) . Justin Bieber, lucky. Noynoy Aquino, lucky, lucky, lucky!

People who win the lotto, lucky. Not being caught by MMDA during coding, lucky. Being at the right place at the right time when you first met your partner in life, lucky. Getting what you want after working for it, lucky.

I don't believe that hard work is everything. A lot of people work, work, work - but still don't achieve their dreams. Some blame them for not working hard enough, but I think that's just unfair. Just ask minimum wage earners who really really work hard. Or the Pinoy Got Talent aspirants who get rejected every season...

Hard work and being smart or talented can help. But sometimes, it's better to be lucky.

I just hope all the luck in the world can go to people who really deserve it :-)
