The Luck Theory of Making Things Happen.

Even those who have achieved their dreams will sometimes say that there was an element of luck.  They might suggest they were at the right place at the right time.  They might focus on circumstances which gave rise to the key moments of achievement.

Luck is just a word.  It really doesn’t mean anything.  For those who believe in the chaos theory of the universe, luck or arbitrariness provide a ready explanation of how things come to be.  Even at this early juncture of science, we understand that the universe is governed by certain elemental laws.  Obviously, there are many attributes of the universe and physics which we can’t even begin to explain.

If luck were a dominant factor in how things happen, there would be few of any patterns amongst high achievers.  Achievement would be random.  At that point, what is the use in even trying?
