~foretell the weather by pitching PEN
MES for rain or for shine, than depend
upon the orbitless asteroid which
floats in IFS trackless space and goes
by the name of luck, because nobody
knows what else to call 1t.
Luck doesn't distribute itself with
common fairness, and ii seems TO have
little Judgment or sense of proportion;
but. II you analyze II and tabulate 1t,
you may find that it more frequently
visits those who can use it than those
who are too lazy to do anything with 1t.
Many folks are asleep when luck
knocks at their door, or are too indo-
lent to get up to let it in.
Luck may call Upon you but 1t won't
come in unless o go out and grasp
it, pull it toward you, tie it down.
Cursing you luck won't make luck
your friend.
Envying other peoples luck won't
encourage luck 10 call upon you.
Figure on getting along without
luck, and yet be ready to use luck If
it comes you- way.
Waiting for luck humans a
man and dwarfs a boy. Don't think
about it. Don't wait for it.
Don't depend upon 1t. Forget it. Mind
your business. Move on as though
there wasn't any luck anywhere, and
you had never heard of it. But If you
get a glimpse of 1t, grab it, make it
your servant, not your master. Luck
uncontrolled is more dangerous than
~gunpowder. the riskiest thing to be
found on the road to success.
