Ever heard of the saying, ‘Fortune favors the bold’? Well, believe it or not, people who come out as winners are often the ones who are willing to take the risk and are bold in their actions. Those who are not willing to do things differently or think bravely, lead ordinary lives, without any scope for success.
Be it at the university or at the workplace, those who are willing to go the extra mile are the ones who succeed. People often say that God only helps those who help themselves. In fact, only when you work hard to achieve something will the Goddess of Luck shower you with fortune to make you successful.
A flood was threatening a small town and everyone was leaving for safety except one man who said, "God will save me. I have faith."
As the water level rose a jeep came to rescue him, the man refused, saying "God will save me. I have faith."
As the water level rose further, he went up to the second storey, and a boat came to help him. Again he refused to go, Belying, "God will save me. I have faith."
The water kept rising and the man climbed on to the roof. A helicopter came to rescue him, but he said, "God will save me. I have faith." Well, finally he drowned.
When he reached his Maker he angrily questioned, "I had complete faith in you. Why did you ignore my prayers and let me drown?" The Lord replied, "Who do you think sent you the jeep, the boat, and the helicopter?"
The only way to overcome the fatalistic attitude is to accept responsibility and believe in the law of cause and effect rather than luck.
It takes action, preparation and planning rather than waiting, wondering or wishing, to accomplish anything in life.

When you have the burning desire inside of you to win a race or excel at something, the universe conspires to make it happen. This is what we mean by luck, which includes your determination to succeed and the support from people around you
If a man does not venture into the unknown, he will surely not gain anything. Mahatma Gandhi was one of the few men who dared to venture into the unknown and was so determined to win that he gained the love and support of Indians in his fight for the country’s independence. Nobody knew if he was going to be successful in his mission but because he was daring and determined to win, that luck favored him.
Remember this saying when you set your heart on a task, ‘Nothing ventured, nothing gained’. Unless you dare to venture into the unknown with an adventurous spirit, you will not gain anything in life !
