30 Day Blogging Challenge PROMPT March 17th Is success a result of luck, or hard work? Neither? Both? Read this article and share your thoughts. https://jamesclear.com/luck-vs-hard-work I only read part of the article. That seems to be the way of things these days - I got lots of open time, but I still manage to not get everything done. I figure I have plenty of time and then.... I don't. I did like what I had read. I tend to agree with the idea that being born lucky to a white middle - working class family. Lucky and blessed. I try to remember that when I venture out into the world. I have had good parents, who loved me and tried to do the best for me given their own situation. I was blessed to have grandparents who loved me unconditionally and encouraged my efforts. I am also lucky to have great people in my life... many of whom are making wonderful efforts to include me into virtual writing sessions so that I am not so isolated during this time of Covid-19. I also have a friend who I am going hiking with tomorrow. I have work I love and co-workers who I enjoy working with. It is a temporary position, but I am enjoying it and making the most of the opportunities that present themselves. All those things are luck, more than hard work. Don't get me wrong, I do work hard at what I have attained, but I have been lucky in getting the opportunities. I work hard to make sure I don't take the opportunities for granted. I want the best for my students and to give them that, I work to make sure that happens. I also write. I work hard. with the talent I have been gifted to make sure I do the best that I can with what I write and put out there. I want to make my little part of the world as uplifting and positive as I can. That takes work. |
