Each of us has our own definition of luck and misfortune depending on what we have experience during the past years of our life. Maybe some events that happened to us is considered as luck and but for some, is not.
Most of the people depend on luck whenever they are going to do something that will change their life. Or even on smallest things such as, winning a raffle draw. We all depend on luck whenever we are not sure of the decision we made and of what's going to happen.
Since we are not sure of everything, we depend our life on the nature of destiny and luck. We tend to be dependent on what time can bring.
Some of us are born with purely luck, and some are born with misfortune life. We cannot do anything about it at first, unless we decided to fight against misfortune and luck. The day we decide that our life won't depend on these two, starts when we finally conquer our fear and accept whatever might happen to us.
As what Robert Cheeke said, "Do nice things for people who may be less fortunate than you". Remember, you are not the only one in this world who are experiencing problems and difficulty in life. You might see a person who's a happy-going person but you never know what he's going through. So remember, not to put additional burden to him.
Respect begets respect. We never know the life of others so what we can do is to respect them, and they will respect you too. Being less fortunate doesn't mean, only those people on the streets. It is not only about owning a big amount of money or not, being less fortunate maybe be in emotional or spiritual aspect of our life.
