"When I was young I set out to change the world.
When I grew older I perceived that this was too ambitious,
so I set out to change my state.
This too, I realized as I grew older, was too ambitious,
so I set out to change my town.
When I realized that I could not do even this, I tried to change my family.
Now, as an old man I know that I should have started by changing myself.
If I had started with myself, maybe then I would have succeeded
in changing my family, the town, or even the state-
and who knows, maybe the world."

LUCK.. believe or not?? Maybe..

..can’t be seen, so not existing but nearly everybody are discussing and saying there is such thing as LUCK! I think it is our novel idea, our persistence effort, our real capabilities and good timing that matter always (yes, indeed) and I don’t think of or believe in luck, formerly.. not until a last Sunday memorable game in not even an hour. In fact, I had a very BAD luck!

Few days, I have been shouting bad luck as it was an unpredicted and unfavorable, historical (for me, in that game) result. I will feel better after awhile I guess. Anyway, it was really (again) bad luck! However, I will still agree, not too rely or focus on luck because RATIONALLY speaking, my ‘bad luck’ result was avoidable, there are turning points and I always can choose..

If we don’t choose to start, or to continue, or to change path, there won’t be thing like LUCK.. not even good or bad (nothing will happen). Things may go unexpectedly good or bad, and people called luck. However, we are the one who choose and that is SKILLS, not blaming luck only.. So, choose right and may luck will be with us!
