LUCK

Luck .... in mathematic term is called probability ..... something that revolves around our lives .... whether we choose to believe it or not .....

Some might not believe in luck .... and some will go all the way to the extent of being superstitious about it ....

Have we wonder why sometimes when get on the road ... the traffic light is so friendly to you ... showing green all the way .... or when you wake up in the morning ... cut yourself while shaving, spill coffee on your shirt during breakfast and car break down halfway to the office ..... was it good luck or bad luck or just mere coincidence or maybe consequences of our action .....

How can we explain event whereby two couples not knowing each other at first, met in the oddest way and get hook up .... coincidence, faith or luck??

And if you argue that luck is the consequences of our action, then can we actually drive in a way whereby the traffic light will turn green everytime we drove past it ??

Some also believe that luck is due to our perception ... the way how we want the event to look like ... whether bad or good .... but i am almost sure no one would say that car breaking down halfway to the office is a good thing to happen .....

Some people do believe that we can control our luck by doing the right thing (i.e. proper planning, risk management, being careful, etc) .... i must say i do agree on that but still i do believe a person's life can just move up and down by just sheer luck, even precaution is taken ....

Ironically, we must agree that luck has play a part in our life since the day we are born to the moment of our last breath ... school examinations, university entry, jobs application etc .... and at some point of time ... good or bad things just happened without any explanation .... we can try to search hard for the answer only to find out that it is not possible to explain it in a logical way ....

When we flipped a coin, mathematically we can say that the probability of getting head or tail is 50-50 but how can we explain why it is a head or a tail .....

Haha .... something to think about huh ........ :-)
