"Sure I'm lucky. And the more I practice, the luckier I get," (Think this was a snooker player, but can't remember who.)

ReplyDeleteI love to watch Craig Fergusen because of his positive attitude.
No matter how bad it gets he says:
It's a good day for America and then finds something nice to say..
This applies to every day life as well.
If you wake up and feel bad just think how good it is for your country to have you and to wake up to a new day full of promise.
It certainly becomes a great day full of surprises.:)
I totally agree -- we work for our luck. Our choices determine whther it is good or bad.
ReplyDeleteThat's my problem - not working hard enough! :)
ReplyDeleteI like these quotes. I've never been one to adhere to the concept of 'luck' myself. The first quote reminds me of Terminator 2 movie, "There's no fate but that which we make for ourselves."
ReplyDeleteI love these quotes... I so believe in luck. I know its silly, but I believe in lucky energy. People who win the lottery are SOME LUCKY.

I love quotes! These were great :) Thank you for visiting my blog!
ReplyDeleteThese are simply GREAT quotes!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThat was a really good post.
ReplyDeleteI like the Lucille Ball quote about realizing what is opportunity. To me attitude plays a big part...if we think we are lucky or focus on the things in our like that feel lucky then good things (luck?) will follow.
ReplyDeleteLuck is the opportunity, but the real difference is recognizing and taking advantage of the opportunities you are handed.
ReplyDeleteDon Shula is going to work with me tomorrow. A student asked me something about quarterbacks that I couldn't answer. At all. This will make his day.
ReplyDeleteRabbit Rabbit.
ReplyDeleteI really like your quotes Nessa.
I always feel like I'll have good luck when a Scrub Jay flies over my path :) Seems to be working so far.

Hello!
ReplyDeletewe don't do luck in our family - it's kind of a word we joke with.
Great quotes.
A fun collection of quotes. :)
ReplyDeleteInteresting quotes!
ReplyDeletePlus, I'd never heard of the "rabbit rabbit" thing before. I was so intrigued that I clicked around for more information.
Much to my surprise, there's even a Wikipedia page on it:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rabbit_rabbit
I never knew!
My favourite luck quote is still..
ReplyDelete"Sure, people said I was lucky. But the more I practiced, the luckier I got"
I have to say that I fully endorse Lucille Ball's quote. Never depend on your luck, even if you are Irish.
ReplyDelete:)
Oops. Tibbar tibbar. Rum luck with the RSS feeds, I'm having.
ReplyDeleteI like the Lucille Ball quote. I don't believe in blind luck as much as natural law and divine line-up when our intentions are set on the highest good.
ReplyDeleteI love that Lucille Ball quote!
ReplyDeletegreat quotes. I like Anthony's addition as well.
ReplyDeletethis was a lucky find
ReplyDeleteGreat quotes!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading these quote, I believe "luck" surrounds us all. We just need to recognize and grab it.
