Luck is nothing more than preparation meeting opportunity: <ul><li>Prepartaion: if you are prepared you will be able to capitolize and profit (good luck). If you are poorly prepared you will miss - or screw up - your chance (bad luck).</li> <li>Opportunity: like anything else in life, you have good and bad opportunities. If you have a good attitude - and are looking for good things to happen - you will find opportunities that are uplifting (good luck). If your attitude is bad - or you are looking for problems - bad things happen (bad luck).</li></ul> It sounds like you take great pride in being able to overcome adversity. I've done the same thing myself, but have found that there is an easier way. Instead of trying to always be fighting life, I have started letting life bring good things my way. @Al – You make your own luck in life. Luck is nothing more than preparation meeting opportunity:

  • Prepartaion: if you are prepared you will be able to capitolize and profit (good luck). If you are poorly prepared you will miss – or screw up – your chance (bad luck).
  • Opportunity: like anything else in life, you have good and bad opportunities. If you have a good attitude – and are looking for good things to happen – you will find opportunities that are uplifting (good luck). If your attitude is bad – or you are looking for problems – bad things happen (bad luck).

It sounds like you take great pride in being able to overcome adversity. I’ve done the same thing myself, but have found that there is an easier way. Instead of trying to always be fighting life, I have started letting life bring good things my way.

The genetic side makes it easier with some kids, but is often used as justification for poor behaviour. @BW-I think there is some truth to the genetic side but think many of the behaviour problems are due to lack of bourndaries or consequences.
