December 15, 200817 yr Without probability there would be no quantum mechanics. Without luck, our universe as we know it could not exist!:P (and besides, I know someone with that as a last name, and I trust in Luck then!:P:lol:)
December 15, 200817 yr i just think there's lots and lots of coincidences, but everything happens for a reason.
December 15, 200817 yr Umm.. well I'd hate to think that people are starving somewhere on the planet for a reason. Or being beaten in a dungeon for a reason. Of course there are circumstances and conditions that lead to things happening the way they do - and maybe that's part of our purpose - to unravel the mystery, make sense of the puzzles, and help Fix what needs fixing as best as we can.. to create the conditions that can lead to improvement. So maybe you're right - in that we must "open our eyes" to see in the mind's eye what makes sense, and what to do to improve things.
December 15, 200817 yr I believe you make you're own luck... my boyfriend believes some people are born lucky and others are born unlucky. We've spent hours arguing about it. Maybe it's because I'm by nature an optimist and therefore I don't need to believe in luck, whereas he's quite pessimistic and therefore believes some people are naturally unlucky

Maybe it's because I'm by nature an optimist and therefore I don't need to believe in luck, whereas he's quite pessimistic and therefore believes some people are naturally unlucky YEA for optimists!!;) I believe that we're always rolling the dice. But to learn is to make better choices, and get better odds next time round'; And to bounce back, regroup, and try again increases the odds of success - it usually leads to better outcomes. But to argue for hours on the matter - I'm quite impressed!:) It's more tiddly-pom than anything, and if you believe you can do it, in time, you will master it and succeed. That takes first the belief that you can; then the perseverance and effort; teamwork and networking; and many learning experiences, that we must bounce back from with a sense of knowledge gained, a better approach, and then go at it again.. Just me babbling, but one thought: If I try and better my scores, understanding, ability, etc., I find that I no longer feel the stress of competition, as all I am trying to do is improve in a non-competitive way, which takes the stress off and opens up the mind and spirit for greater capacities. It's a lot easier than frustrating oneself over open competition with others, and the adrenaline tunnel vision that accompanies that. "Chance favors the prepared mind" - Albert Einstein

December 15, 200817 yr For some odd reason, I do. I even flip over pennies to heads so other people can find 'em and have good luck.
December 15, 200817 yr Since forever. Actually, it's not so much that tails means bad luck as heads means good luck. Tails doesn't really do anything, but the flipside is better. At least I think that's right.
December 15, 200817 yr If you catch some tails, it can't be all bad luck..:wink3::laugh3:... (that would be a Bad Penny, right??:P)
December 15, 200817 yr Catch some tails? Americans really talk some bullshit don't they? Imaginative Bullshit at least!:P Or maybe you Brits haven't the balls to catch tails?:laugh3:
December 15, 200817 yr Imaginative Bullshit at least!:P Or maybe you Brits haven't the balls to catch tails?:laugh3: :lol:
December 15, 200817 yr :dozey: use some imagination, hey!:rolleyes: What, do I have to spell everything out?? C'mon you guys gave the world Shakespeare.. Anyhow, there was a saying here years ago along similar lines - "grab a heine" for grab a heineken... :laugh3:
December 16, 200817 yr :laugh3: Good god, you must be kidding! Well, if people have no tails, then you might be chasing their _____.. And besides, we're all animals!:laugh3: Surely, you jest?!
December 16, 200817 yr Apparently a language barrier of epic proportions! :laugh3: At this stage, it might as well the funnybone!
