I was re-watching this movie "Just my luck" starring Lindsay Lohan and Chris Pine; and I just wondered if there were really people like them. Like the girl who was just so lucky in life and the guy who had trouble even in the littlest things.. I can't really say if I'm lucky or not- I experienced it both. What about you, are you lucky? Do you believe in luck?

Lucky? Yes I am lucky to have many things. Luck is something you don't put effort in that is good and it happens by itself, right? I would say I'm lucky.

Good for you.I am lucky sometimes too. And yes, luck just comes to us, and it doesn't even require effort... blessed are the people who are lucky in life.. Everyone is lucky, since they have a family, a house, etc..

Luck can be God at work too. And I do believe that there is a reason for everything, it may be God's plan for us or something... Thank you for your response.

Hello lady1993, I have seen also that movie, it's too exaggerated, a woman who's very luck and a man who's very unfortunate being trouble friendly but that is just a movie, movies exaggerates all to please viewers, so it means for me there's no people like them. Actually as a christian i don't believe on a word "Luck" for me that term is just for those who really don't know our God well. Troubles are created by man and Good things are a blessings or a gift. Also i believe in law of consequences, if you did good you'll get good in return either to you directly or to your love ones and that is a blessing.

Yeah, the movie was so exaggerated to make it funny. And I also believe that men make trouble for themselves so they shouldn't blame it on anyone. Thank you for your response.

Luck is just something that really exists in our minds alone. And really it is just selling ourselves short. People in general are capable of some extraordinarily things. It is because of their own skills. The ability of being smart enough to be at the right place. Luck can occur, but not as often as we think it does. Therefore, I really think that for the most part, in general, luck is an illusion.

Yes, luck only happens a few times in our life...so people really have to rely in their own talents and skills, and hardwork too. Thank you for sharing your opinion.

I strongly believe in luck or fate, you can call it as you want. I call it luck. Every time when something is going in it's wrong way, at the last moment i see change and the change is effecting my mind in positive situation. I'm very happy with that, but sometimes the result is bad, because i am calm, that everything will be fixed somehow and it doesn't help me so much...

I believe in work more than luck too. It's really hard to believe in something that only comes along in only few times in our life. We just need to always work and work to achieve what we want.

no i don't actually... i believe more in blessings and grace from God... luck sounds like a coincidence while my religion teach me that nothing happens as a coincidence in this life... everything happens for a purpose and it is all in God's control... that's why i never believe in luck as i treat everything that comes to me in my life whether it is good or bad is from God... take care and have a nice day...

Hi lady 1993, yes I think there is something like luck. I think some people are born lucky. For example, let me tell you a simple incident.....Many years ago when me and my brother were young children, we had a rich Aunt, she would invite us turn by turn to stay with her. And it always happened, that when my brother stayed with her, he got chicken and other delicious things to eat, and whenever I stayed with her, it was always bean soup or vegetables.. and I always felt that he was more lucky. Also I feel that people who are born beautiful, are always more luckier than less beautiful people. Doors of success open more easily for good looking people, as outer beauty makes more impression on people than inner beauty. Also let me add that once in a blue-moon, luck does work for unfortunate people too, and that is what lights the candle of hope ....and the life goes on.....

Dear friend, I feel I bit lucky that I am able to live without any much problems. Those experiences in my life have many reasons for me to believe in luck. In that I am here alive as part of role of luck in my life. May be luck is another bonus of God in my life.

I am a person who is less fortunate and I am still looking for luck. and I believe that luck exists and I also hope that luck comes to me for my life became better. because my life is so less fun and less fortunate. hopefully God has given me a better life and be useful. so that I can make other people happy.

Hi lady1993! 'Just my luck' is a great movie and i have watched it at least 5-7 times. However, i don't believe that luck has to do with anything about being successful in life. I believe that being successful is about how often you strike at opportunities. I think that opportunities is often misinterpreted as luck. Opportunities doesn't come once in a long time but it is everywhere around us everyday. Sad to say, many people miss seeing it.

Yes, I agree with you too- but i still believe that people still get lucky sometimes. Because they win a lotto or something, or another prize, isn't that just lucky.

I dont always believe in luck because there are times that you are doing your best and it pays off. Like for example, studying for the exams. Luck isn't always there like winning the lottery. I think chances are much higher when you do your best in everything.

Yes, I believe in luck. Sometimes I feel lucky, sometimes not. But I think luck really happens to everyone of us.

I believe in luck. So far I've been lucky in my life(on the average obviously). I believe in a simple equation LUCK + EFFORT = RESULT...

I believe in that too- you can't just always rely on luck, people really need to exert effort too, to get the desired result. Even I am lucky sometimes, just sometimes though..

Well based on my self-coined quote, no! "Fate is for the fools, luck is for the lazy and destiny is for the drunks, in the grand scheme of things, it's juts you and your hard work" -- Louierrific!

I think there is a certain amount of things that require luck. Is it fate? I dont really know - i dont tend to think about it. Just head into life with an open mind and everything just falls right into place
