You Make Your Own Luck

"When they are told how successful a person has been, many people complain, 'He was just lucky.  If I had his luck I would be rich too'.  Luck does enter the picture, and indeed, some people appear to be quite lucky.  But the truth is: to a large degree you make your own luck.  And as the saying goes, 'The harder you work, the luckier you get.'  Remember that."

-- Barry Parker


"Whenever you are in doubt or when the self becomes too much with you...recall the face of the poorest and the weakest man whom you may have seen and ask yourself if the step you contemplate is going to be of any use to him."

-- Mahatma Gandhi
