Always Lucky

Some get lucky sometimes, some never, while some few are always lucky. Why don’t I fall in the last category, those people that get lucky all the time. I always love to win but never want to fight, oh I need to be lucky.

I hope u re not reading to yourself. If you are, then this little closing story of how my year went might interest you.

I was a professional working in telecom as a Java Developer until I threw in the towel to in July. It was quite crazy and most of my friends were not too happy about the timing of that decision. A whole ocean of promises and opportunity seems to be around the corner in my former company and leaving at that time was ridiculous. But know what I was looking for, I didn’t give a doubt any chance.

I have considered changing my career early in the year due to stagnancy that forced me to review my life and ask myself what I wanted out of life. After determining what I wanted out of my career, I decided to move to where I can find it. But, as usual, extraordinary dream will always take extraordinary input (determination, vision, discipline, sacrifice, etc).

It is now five month since I resigned from my former company. I now wake up everyday wishing I had resigned earlier. I now appreciate how much change can happen when you define what you are looking out for in life and go after it.

You might be one of those people looking for a way in your career, life, marriage, education or business. But, until u know what u are looking for , you will only be searching for the wind and you already know what the result is.

Let me give u this little advice from Uncle Solo, he says

"The labor of the foolish wearies them because they don’t know how to go to the city".

I don’t believe too much in luck, but if there is anything like luck, I AM ONE OF THOSE GUYS THAT ALWAYS GET LUCKY.
