Do think you have been lucky in life? If so, how much of it was due to personal effort and how much due to chance? Andy and I did a lot of the right things — like study and work and save — but we also know we were lucky to have lived in a time and place where that was rewarded. We thank our lucky stars every day.
Hurray for humility and gratitude, and Happy St Patrick’s Day! May the luck of the Irish be with you and your loved ones.

I think over the years I have found myself in situations that should have ended much worse than what they did. So I do consider myself lucky.
I don’t believe in luck, although I had a friend who won bingo every time she played and the one time she begged me to go with her, she never asked me again because the night I sat next to her she LOST.
…luck is an important part of life.
Happy St Patrick’s Day! We make our own luck trying to make smart choices I think.
