Hi friends, people are nothing but society, if a person fails in the things he do, majority of the people make him resoponsible for his mistakes but if the same person is successfull in whatever he does the same majority of people call it as luck. They say he/she is "lucky enough" to be successful, Do u think this opinion or commonent given by people is right? If a mistake happens then they degrade the person, if the person is successfull then they grade the "luck" not the persons "work". Why?

When people say its just luck they are substituting thoughts. Instead of thinking that its possible for someone to do better they just say its luck because then its something that the person themselves cant control its easier to say I just have bad luck then to say I'm lazy and don't take advantage of opportunity.

..well, i don't its a luck.. I believe we are the captain of our own life.. We make the decisions and decisions are not based on luck.. If we fail by what we did, it teaches us a lesson.. If we succeed, it is our reward and happiness.. we are responsible for all the things that's going on with our life.. If other people hurt us, we are hurt because we allow them to hurt us.. If we don't want to be hurt, we should know when to be sensitive and insensitive..

It should be noted that to err is human. Even the best of the people commit mistakes. success doesn't depend on the luck and luck is a vague word. It's your hard work that comes to the fore and makes you victorious. All other things are just guess work.

hey missjasmine(28) Society is full of various types of people. There are people who will be just after you at your good times, and there are some who will support you everytime. So it basically depends upon you, how you take it. I really dnt care what people say, espically when it comes to people who i know are selfish. I just do, what i do because it makes me SMILE..!! Cheers!!

That's quite common ,in this society ,not all the people can hold a selfish and fair attitude toward others. When we judge a person ,if the guy is successful but also have a good family ,some of us will think this guy's success must be based on their family or luck and igore his personal capablity . It's quite unfair but very reasonable, we can't make all the people jugde a person in a fair way ,sometimes they are just jealous of this sort of people .So i stick to the opionion that gold will shine everywhere ,you have no need to worry about how the others judge about you ,if you are able ,the truth will tell all the things,they will finally grade you "work" not "luck"!

No man is perfect and every person has made mistakes in his life and it is his prerogative to err. And criticizing others for their mistakes is a general tendancy that most of the people adopt. It makes them feel good about themselves and also in control. Possibilities are that they would have been criticized by others before and they project the behaviours they have learnt. And calling successful people 'lucky', is one way to wash away self guilt and give reasons to oneself for not having been successful themselves. So it is better to work for oneself and turn deaf ears to people who comment anyway because comments are free.

Nowadays people were being jugde on the way they live whether they are ric or poor. If you are poor then people will not give you the right treatment that you should have. But on the other hand, if you are rich then people will give you the highest respect that they can give you. Often times its not with the status that you are into that people should judge you. But it should be with your capabilities of making things different. Of making a change. Well I guess thats the reality. If you really want to prove something, then work hard for it.
