Wanna get LUCKY? Read this..

I am sure you have at least once tried your hand at throwing darts. Just imagine that you are inexperienced at throwing darts. You are standing in a dark room and you start throwing darts one by one on the dart board from a distance. If you throw enough darts, some darts might hit the dartboard. And if you continue to throw even more, you might hit the bull's eye eventually. 

Is that luck? No. That's Law of Probability. This example explains us why some people that are persistent and determined eventually succeed. They just keep on trying and don't quit. Finally, by the law of probability, they win. They create their own luck by taking massive actions.

Now imagine, that you are an expert dart thrower. With great practice you have gained mastery in throwing darts. The room is well lit and not dark as before. In this situation, I am sure you would hit the bull's eye in quite a less time. Also, you might hit it 4 times out of 5 throws. Anyone watching you for the first time might label you 'lucky'. However, its you who knows the amount hard work and pain that has gone behind in achieving the mastery and creating your own luck.

In life, you must constantly think about what you can do to increase the probability to be successful in achieving your goals. Stop wishing, hoping or relying on luck. Rather work hard, take massive action, develop your skills, put those number of hours in gaining the mastery and get lucky.
