In my contests, everybody wins.
And in this one, I want to make a point but instead of just spill it out, it'd be better if you give it a thought for a while. And getting some SBD is always good too.
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to answer this simple question -
Are you a lucky person and why?
The Rules:
- The contest begins today and will last until the end of the month;
- Give your answer as a comment. Only one comment per person;
- A yes/no comment would not be sufficient. You must explain why.
- Your comment does not have to be a written one only;
- The prize: 15 SBD;
- How the prize will be divided?: 100% will go to the person who gave an answer that I will have chosen most fit. If there is no such, the prize will be divided between my second favorable answers.
- To keep the contest fair I will not comment on any of your answers. I will upvote each (1%) to show that I have seen it. In the end, I will announce the winner and post my explanation for choosing.
Good luck!
Everyday I'm seeing people begging money in the streets, they can't work because of their disability and I'm seeing people having a new Lamborghini but yet they aren't satisfied and happy so they bought a new Ferrari, i'm seeing people who have all the resources he wants; but yet never satisfied and committed suicide.
I realized that I'm the luckiest person alive, i can run outside and feel the fresh air, i can touch my cute dog, i can taste the sweetness of ice cream, i can smell the fragrance of a flower. Being alive in this world is an opportunity to everybody, but yet few people gave importance about life. Life is full of adventure and volatile emotions, but despite of ups and downs we never quit in the game of life, because we only live once, be grateful and enjoy the moment. :)
I'm lucky one can't believe you married that neckface pretty sure that I should be winning this competition for being so lucky to land such an amazing wife.
Ok so maybe I didn't pick the most flattering picture of YOU... lol... But our wedding was pre-gym days. You have a much better-defined neck these days lol!
Amazing! You are like a cat, you died twice and came back! Lets not try again though! Keep going to the gym and keep getting healthier! Use your kick to kick all adversities!
Haha thanks, yeah twice was enough. Thanks for taking the time to reply to my entry :) was fun finding the photos to portray the luck lol.
While reading so many stories from Steemiens such as @insideoutlet, @soumon lol 😂 about his lost steemit password, @brigitte0659 and so many others “why they feel lucky” it made me share my story as well. I’m very shy person. Steemit platform was the first time I’ve ever shared something personal publicaly. Perhaps, because to me steemit feels like a family.
I feel lucky not getting killed in my 20’s when my friend took me for a ride with his new sport motorcycle 🏍. We crashed head to head with incoming car, both at speed of 60 mph. That day police called me flying @milano1113. My best childhood friend had broken leg, hand and surgery of his abdomen. I was not injured at all, instead they found me laying in shock between trees 90 feet away from the accident. I also feel lucky I didn’t kill myself when I bought my first car Dodge Daytona when I had a few moments feeling extremely lucky.
There are so many times when I felt lucky to be still alive. But one “I feel lucky” stands above all. It was about two years ago when our friend had been diagnosed for the third time with cancer. One of it was skin cancer “Melanoma”the worst cancer of all skin cancers. She told us and everybody she knew to get checked, to see doctor or dermatologist. If she wasn’t diagnosed soon anough, she would not be here with us anymore. About two weeks ago her 40 years old daughter passed away, she had a cancer. She left behind two small children and husband. I’m 40 years old as well, I lost my father when I was 10, but I can’t imagine the pain of mother loosing her child.
One day I went to the beach with my wife. It was a beautiful and hot day. We went swimming, we had a great fun when she noticed this strange tiny mole on my back. She immediately remembered our friend’s advise. We scheduled an appointment with our doctor. They took biopsy from my back and we thought it all was just a precautionary. After few days past I remember shopping with my wife when I had phone cal from our doctor. I immediately knew something was not right. I picked up the phone and doctor said “you have a skin cancer melanoma”. The same day I was immediately scheduled for surgery. Fortunately it didn’t spread to my blood. Today I feel lucky 🍀, because my wife noticed this very tiny mole on my back. We both got checked from toe to head and fortunately we are healthy and in a great shape today. I’m getting checked every six months, I had about 20 precautionary biopsies since then and everything seem fine. I encourage everyone to get checked for skin cancer. Even if you don’t see anything unusual, it’s worth it. Sometimes you can’t prevent accidents, but you can prevent in many cases this killer #1. Don’t wait! It can happen to anyone!
Strive on and live strong my friend.
For the past months I can surely say that luck was on my favor. I discovered the Steem blockchain "by chance" after I attempted to google something out of the blue. After which, I only waited for less than 2 days for the confirmation link which took many people weeks or even months to get.
Less than two weeks of being on here, I was lucky to get noticed by a "soon-to-be-dolphin" at that time @techslut because of how I did well on a Curation Engagement League something2 to which I also discovered "by chance" as it was the first thing on my hot list feed. I was also even far away from winning that one, most likely on 7th place, but I was still lucky to be the one chosen by her to be delegated some SP which tremendously helped me on my journey here on Steem.
So to answer your question, Yes! I think I am pretty lucky. XD
I once heard that luck is when preparation meets opportunity. I've always felt pretty lucky myself. Raised by intelligent and hard working parents in one of the highest standard of living countries in the world. My parents taught me well from a young age so i was able to excel in school. I still remeber being complimented by many of my teachers and even one of them pulling me aside and telling me i have to gift to do what ever i want in my life as long as i stick to it and give it a full effort. My later day in junior high and highschool we're a breeze. I was able to get through with little to no effort. Good at most sport without much effort either, something i attributed to natural gifts. During and after college things were great, i had plenty of friends and parties, causually dated lots of beautiful women. That lead to a few longer term girlfriends. Landed a pretty decent job where i got to travel lots and see tons of beautiful places on my journies. Then a few years ago i got fairly sick with an immunological disorder that would require me to be on multiple forms immunosuppresants that were also used as chemotherapy to treat some forms of cancer. Once the medical problems started i lost my girlfriend at the time. She didn't seem to want to be around a sickly guy with an uncertain future like myself. After the first two medications i was on failed to treat my condition depression started setting in. The luck i had come accustomed to seemed to be a thing of my past. Well everything in my life seemed to be taking a spiral down to toilet I decided to text a girl i had met a few years previous that I had a crush on. Well things ended up going good and now we have a handsome young lad and my medical condition is starting to look very optimistic that i will likely not need another chemotherapy infusion. After having a lot of time to reflect where I've come from and where I am today I've come to the conclusion that luck is a lot about how you look at things. If you have people that love you, a roof over your head and some food in your belly then consider yourself very lucky because many people don't have these luxuries and it can all be taken away in seconds. A few things that can possibly increase your luck are having an optimisic point of veiw. Living life in the moment. Working hard. And strive to become one with the universe, you'll be surprised what she has to offer you. Love you all. Peace be upon you and stay blessed.
