Risk and luck

I was chatting with one of my childhood friends today, and it got to a point where we were measuring some of our friends from way back, and my friend was forced to judge their success stories and put the blame on our friends for not making wise decisions. He judged them so much that I was forced to intervene and tell him that we have some lazy people who are very rich. We also have some hard-working people who are very poor, and I let him realize that 100% of our effort doesn't equal 100% of success because if 100% of our effort equals 100% of success, it would have been an easy path for everybody to be successful. Success will be what anybody can do, but life is not like that. Sometimes, we need some things to work in our favor.

I don't want to sound like an expert, but we need luck and risk regarding finance. Some of us are so lucky that we were born into a family that appreciates education, and not only do they appreciate education, but they also have the money to sponsor our education to any level. Some of us don't have that kind of luck because our parents can't afford to put food on the table talkless of sending us to school. We have some people who are born in a war-fighting country where everybody is busy fighting a war, and there is no time to go to school and so on.

Luck and risk are intertwined with everything we do in life, whether we like it or not. While our efforts are important, there are certain aspects that are outside of our control. Acknowledging the role of luck is crucial, as it is often a determining factor in success. Similarly, risk is inherent in every decision we make. We must learn to navigate these factors and make the best choices we can. It's not always easy, but it's a reality we must accept.

Risk is equally important

We all know that when it comes to finance, luck and risk work together, and no matter how good a project is, risk is always involved. Being a good project or a promising project doesn't mean that it won't fail. We might end up on the side of the little chance that it will not even some little things will do day in and day out involve risk, just like drinking water, sometimes even taking our bath. I have a friend whose father slumped in the bedroom and died instantly, and that is what changed my friend's life forever because they went from being comfortable to struggling.

It's common for people to judge others based on their financial decisions, but it's important to remember that everyone's situation is unique. Even if two people make the same choices, they may not experience the same outcome. Taking risks can also lead to great rewards, and we shouldn't discount the role that luck can play in our lives. Instead of judging others, it's important to show empathy and understanding, recognizing that we all have our own challenges and struggles.

This reminds me of the saying 'work and pray' to achieve success in anything we do. I think not acknowledging luck into the equation will make it hard to understand how life can be so different to certain people. I used to wonder about this mismatch between effort and outcome, but then I realized that it's not that straightforward and other factors, such as luck, are also at play.

When will you realize that luck and risk work hand in hand, we also realize no matter how good our situation is or no matter how good we are financially, anything can happen because we are not invincible. We must always keep this in mind and be humble.

Rightly said! Anything can indeed happen and we should prepare for the worst while hoping for the best.
