"hey, that's so lucky !!"
"Best of luck !"
"You are so lucky for me.."
"all cos of this bad luck"
these are few kinda phrases we use mostly in our day to day lives.. so y is luck a very important thing in our life? cant anyone just live without depending on luck, or does a person really require luck to change something desirable or undesirable.
of course, all humans take luck really seriously. people don't want to mess up their luck by doing something.
luck is viewed in many different ways in various places in the world,for example,
in India, a black cat crossing your path or lizard falling on you is assumed to bring bad luck
in Europe and USA, breaking a mirror or number 13 is bad luck.
in Africa, pouring hot water on ground or answering a call during night can bring you bad luck. (weird!)
and also there are many things which are associated with good luck, some materials and even persons are supposed to bring good luck to people. but are these good lucks and bad lucks truly exist? or all these superstitions and perceptions of our mind.
well, logically thinking about it, its all in our mind. our mind takes up things which please us as good luck and those which don't, end up in bad luck. so its just a segregation of things around us by our mind which creates this whole illusion of luck.
but definitely our minds are capable of changing its point of view, but it doesn't want to, so the bad luck things are more than good luck ones.. in fact, certain people earn a lot using the concept of luck.
so i would like to upset all of you concluding that there is no such thing called LUCK in this world. it all depends on you and Ur mind set.
break it all and things will change.
well, what do i think about my luck.. " i consider myself very lucky"..
TRY it YOURSELF : take a material which you think would bring you bad luck and set it in your mind that it will bring you good luck, and try some activity to test it. it will work for sure, you can even see how great the human mind is..
Feedback to me after u test it. and also leave your valuable comments below

Hi Chibi,I am visiting you blog page for the first time and its totally impressive. Great work!
I saw this blog on luck and cudnt totally agree with it. U gave a few examples on superstition (SS) and tie it with luck. I thought luck and SS are two very different things. Acceptable, a black cat crossing is a SUPERSTITION with little scientific base. SSs generally were the result of the little science man knew a few centuries ago. Then, with very lil science & knowledg(and no labs/funds to research)to his side, he looked for a way to explain things around him. he used wt we now call SS to explain his world to himself. Jus like the way man uses "Science" to explain things around him today. (May be in another few centuties from now, man might see our "Science" as some Superstition and have his own way of explaining th marvels around him, thts how man grows, doesnt he?.. Anyway, I am moving away form the topic, so let me get back in line)
But I dont c how it can be associated wth LUCK. Luck is a chance happening which we consider personal (like u said before, a matter of perspective). But by calling a few SS false we may not b able to rule LUCK out from our list of possibl explanations for otherwise unexplainable things. Though sometimes seemingly irrational, man only uses luck to explain to himself things he otherwise possible couldnt. May be there is a law in nature that guides us, serve us good for good, bad for bad.. Only that our scientific knowledge domain is too young to understand it, but may be wil explore soon.
