Are You Lucky?

[PankySmooch]

Do you consider yourself lucky or are you one of those who never have any luck in your life?

[Bathsheba]

Bit of both, I suppose, but I always remember the story of everyone getting together and tossing their worries into centre of circle, and most folk would pick up their own to take away.

Baths, you sure it was worries and not keys?

[Bathsheba]

I am lucky in that I was born in a prosperous country, with a brain and body that work. Can't complain. I wouldn't say I was particularly lucky. I've never won the lottery, but I've never had anything particularly terrible happen. I would think most of us are on the Middle of the bell curve.

[Bathsheba]

Yep, I agree with Cloverjo ;)

I like to think I'm lucky but I'm not, if I was picked for the marching band I'd get the piano and they'd be marching uphill

I'm not lucky,back in the seventies I was offered a raffle ticket and as they cost a fiver and I had already bought one, my friend standing next to me took it, He won the car. The only occasion when I did win I discovered it was a chicken and when I went to collect, it was still alive. :o)

[Mamyalynne]

In regard to winning prizes/money, then no have never won much.

Lucky in life generally then yes, I have been blessed in many ways and still am.

[Baldric]

Yes, I'm lucky, to be honest, I've always found the harder I've worked the luckier I've become. Stopped working a couple of years ago so I can enjoy it.

[TWR]

I have my health, I'm Lucky.

[ummmm]

I'm lucky in the sense of when things have gone tits up I've always managed to land on my feet and I'm happy.

Unlucky - If there is a tiny shard of glass on the floor I will be the person who stands on it.

[Old_Geezer]

Depends on how I choose to look at it. On a day to day basis I am confronted with a never ending stream of things that apparently opt to go wrong or be a problem with no obvious reason why it should be so. On the other hand I was born into a relatively rich area of the world, even if it is nowhere near perfect, and my country has avoided wars large enough to cause conscription and my being fired at, so that is a major plus.

[rockyracoon]

When I look at the way some people have to live, then I do consider myself lucky. I have a loving family, great kids and nice home and a job that is as secure as it could be in this day and age.

[Old_Geezer]

I see Baldric must have had awful luck for the last couple of years :-(

Were it keys, Panky, and Baths chose to take back their own, she's not going to the best parties !

[tamborine]

With my luck am not chancing anything.

Clove - I agree - and well done BA

I said that to a Yank - " you must think being born American you won the first prize in Life " which is a gloss on one a hundred years ago ( substitute british empire ) and instead got a load of old crap from the lucky life winner

whilst I wondered why she hadnt said the shorter more correct answer : 'yes'. Instead I got an off-key oscar acceptance speech - if my Dad hadnt etc etc...

Napoleon used to ask before promotion of his generals
is he lucky ?

sort of groping towards people make their own luck

Ilie Nastase capped that with: the more I practise the luckier I get

so I s'pose ..... the people who say they are unlucky ..... wont practise.
