The harder I work, the luckier I get – sounds like a rock song 🙂
Completely missed that. Yes!
It got to the point I became sick of having to sing the words of that rock song to people who were constantly saying “you’re so lucky…”, and I found new people who already knew the tune 🙂
Good!
You really need solid communication skills, flexibility, strong work ethic, acting on opportunities and having a robust network for good fortune to come your way.
Nothing comes easy, but one could get lucky as well, with some determinations and haerd work.

Thanks Again!
Having luck is similar to having hope; neither are tangible or reliable. “I hope we succeed” or “I hope luck is on our side” are statements we all have said. But, we have to do something, and take action, for luck and hope to be more on our side.
Yes Dale, as usual you are on point. ACTION. DO. TAKE THAT FIRST STEP…
VERY TRUE!
