RE: A few thoughts on luck

in #thoughts3 years ago

Yes, perseverance is really very important and also the willingness to accept consequences of a negative nature if one intends to do what is considered right. I love luck in the game and I don't push it either. In gambling, I stop when I have won and not when I have lost. Of course, losing is also part of the game and you don't always come out the lucky winner. Gambling is an essential part of my life, I prefer playing cards.

The definition of success is more difficult. At the moment, I might think that I've had bad luck because I've been dismissed by my contracting company. I lost financially, but was I also unlucky emotionally and intellectually? My answer is "no". The way I see it now is that it was probably time not to accept the signs of the times as set and the consequence of being involuntarily dismissed from a relationship is the new door I am walking through. Where it will lead me is uncertain. But luck and perseverance are certainly part of the journey. As well as "hard" work.

That's right. Generally luck is something you can't rely on, sometimes it favors us, and sometimes it doesn't, that's why it's important not to get discouraged by the setbacks and keep moving forward.

Games of chance are very good for learning how to react to the uncertainty and randomness of life itself. Basically, what you apply in one situation is transferable to the other. You can learn from everything, really.

sorry, can't answer. Two of my brothers got very sick, two nights ago my dear brother got a severe heart attack ... he's in coma in hospital and it's uncertain whether he is going to die or live. The other is full on drugs because of psychic issues. It's a really difficult time for my family.

Sorry to hear that. I hope for the best for both of them. And for you too because it is hard. If you want to talk or anything, feel free to reply. Keep me informed. Although, if you don't want to talk, I understand you too. Life is sometimes like that.

Cheers and best wishes.

Thank you. I appreciate that.
My brother is still in coma and they try to wake him up in the pace he can keep up with. He reacted yesterday by opening his eyes. That was a good sign, as they said. If he can be detached from the machines and breathe on his own, the diagnostics will go on. Brain scan to see if there is damage (he was dead for three minutes).

The other brother is taken care by my sister. The rest of the family which still functions tries best to be of support and help. Tough times, indeed.

I tried to reflect on it by writing.

Greetings to you.

Glad to hear there are good signs. Hopefully everything will work out well for them, and for all of you. Are you doing well? I know it must be difficult with all this, plus the corona, work and everything else. There are many things.

I don't want to meddle in what I shouldn't, though.

See ya.


Also, you have a big family from what I can see. :)

You are truly not meddling, I welcome your questions and take them as sympathy.

My brother is out of the woods. He called me yesterday and I almost fell off my chair when I got his ear in person. He sounded very weak and very worn out, but he's alive, he's talking and thinking and he's off the equipment. They are now even talking about moving him out of the ICU and into the normal ward very soon.

Yes, I have a big family.

Thank you and best wishes

How did it go with all that? Has he been taken out of the intensive care unit yet? Have they both recovered? You can tell me... If you wish, of course.
