This must be different now from my discussion on how are you going to measure success. Now I just want to ask if how would you say a person is Lucky in his/her life. Just because of money again? What is your basis to say that a person is lucky or fortunate enough? If not in career then how would say that he/she is still lucky?

I would say I'm fortunate. I have a house to live in, food to eat, clothing to wear, and my precious family. A lot of times things like these are taken for granted and blown out of what is really needed. So as long as I remember what is truly valuable in life then I will continue to know that I'm a fortunate person. There are many people who don't have the necessities of life and I do so I'm forunate. I don't have to have the newest and latest of everything to be a fortunate person.

How can I say I am fortunate? I'll just count the blessings that comes my way. My family is whole healthy and safe, I have a job while others do not have, I have a home, I have the money to buy food, I do not have any physical disability. I may not be rich and will always have a problem with money but I am still fortunate for the many things I have.

I'm fortunate because there are a lot of kids who couldn't go to school because of poverty. This is why I admire those that offer free education. This will somehow reduce the number of illiterate kids. I really think every kid deserves to have a good education. They're not bound to run on the streets begging for food.

I can say that a person is fortunate if he/she has a loving parents and siblings despite of the difficulties in life they are still firm to face the challenges in their life. And most of all they treat God as the center of their family.

Some people are fortunate enough to have good health, enough money to survive financially and enjoy life and relationships where they give and receive love. I have a friend who doesn't like it when I used the word... blessed. If I say that I'm very blessed in my life he thinks I'm trying to annoy him so instead I tell him that I'm very fortunate to have all that I have. I hope this answers your question.
