I've found that luck is quite predictable. If you want more luck, take more chances. Be more active. There is no pleasure in life equal to that of the conquest of a vicious habit. By purpose, I don't mean your objective or intention-something toward which you are always striving.
Purpose is something bigger Good luck is a lazy man's estimate of a worker's success.
Luck always seems to be against the man who depends on it. When you laugh, be sure to laugh at what people do and not at what people are. The ruin of most men dates from idle moments. We mustn't let our passions destroy our dreams. It's easier to prepare and prevent, than to repair and repent.
