Or let's not? After all, it may be a bit more difficult than you imagined it to be. Robbers, murderers, kidnappers, hackers or whatever may take for granted that their crimes just depend on their decision to commit them to succeed. As we - the grown-ups of this world - know, that's not how it works. Not even planning will guarantee the outcome of any kind of actions. Actually, that may be what ruins everything when one part of the magic blend of instant success is lacking: Luck. Yes, I'm a great believer in luck, and the reason for that is, that I've had the experience of being out of luck for several time periods of my life. Something which was not very pleasant, but anyway, it made me think about the phenomenon of luck, what it is, and how one attains and (preferably) learns how to keep it.
"Lady Luck" is a fickle creature, and if there are means to make her stay and do one's bidding then they've escaped me. For instance, I needed to have some service on one of my computers which I had had the misfortune to give a bad rm-command. If you don't know the Linux-system, you most probably don't know what I'm talking about, but if you do, I suspect that by now you will feel some panicky tremors run up your spine. Anyway, to use a rm-command is like playing with fire which I had forgotten. Because of forgetting that, I shall now have a memory that is to stay with me for as long as I shall be using computers. Namely the horror of seeing files and comments sort of being "sucked up and disappear into thin air", right before my eyes. When I found a service that might save my computer, I felt very lucky indeed, but as I found out, this place wasn't exactly what it was set up to be. To find it and to start service with them felt like luck, but the place soon revealed its true nature: It was a disaster upon disaster-place All in all, this experience felt like receiving the gift of a beautiful box of chocolate, but when you opens it, this is what you find:
Lady luck didn't side with me, so by now my poor, wounded computer will be out of circulation. Luckily for me, I do have substitutes, but it still feels like a slap in the face, because it's connected with the first feeling at finding the service which was that of luck. Had I not felt lucky, it wouldn't have hit that hard, which is a fact I shall have to ponder a little bit until I (hopefully) come to terms with it.
