That's what I get for leaving such a ridiculous statement. :)

veen basically has it right in that I was referring to the notion that luck is something that only graces some people. Everyday we are faced with common and uncommon circumstance. Personally, I think it is damaging for people to view the world as a place where luck is what makes the difference between success and failure. Everyone encounters rare circumstance, however dynamic people leverage what is available, and non-dynamic people do not.

It's probable that before this rare opportunity panned out for the Beatles, they missed many. Even after that point, there are countless rare circumstances that defined the path that they ultimately took. Were the Beatles one of the best bands in the world (not my personal opinion :)), or did they take the path of one? No doubt they didn't finish as the band that began.

It was unlikely that you found Hubski when you did; however, Lil's Book of Questions existed, and in that sense, we were lucky to meet you. If Under Odysseus gets anywhere, then I definitely can claim the luck of that situation. :)

The thing that bothers me most about using 'luck' this way, is that it can serve as an excuse for some people as to why their life isn't where they'd like it to be. Luck isn't the reason. Everyone experiences uncommon circumstance.
