I believe in free sex education. Luck is just a sidenote to it.

I believe that many things that happen to you are due to luck (good or bad). What's interesting is in which situations people tend to talk about being lucky - very often that's when something really bad happens, but it could have been worse, e.g. they have a bad accident, but they are very lucky because they survive.

its funny you mention that, i came off a mountain bike in peru and ended up spending a night in hospital with damaged diaphram (sp?) (i couldn't breath)...among other cuts and bruises. i wasn't wearing a helmet and even though i couldn't do a lot for about a month after...including laughing or coughing...i considered myself pretty lucky, i've seen people come off bikes before the way i did and do some serious damage.

It comes from Latin "Fortes fortuna adiuvat"

adiuvat = help

Getting a 5-9 job which supports 3 kids and a wife is pretty lucky.

i thought that as i typed it...but then again his wife could be working and making a lot more money that him....secretly she could be cheating on him....maybe the kids that he though were his were really some other dudes....he could be getting bullied at work...so many things could make him unlucky...

Where do you get 5-9 office jobs? And is that am or pm? 5-9 pm would be great.

I think you've got a bit of a contradiction here. Luck implies chance or randomness. To say that one is 'born' lucky would imply that there's something deterministic to it. So, I would say no, I don't believe we're born lucky or unlucky. We all recieve varying amounts of good and bad fortune through our lives, but I think it's down to chance.
