The idea of luck is great as a one off thing but if you grow to rely on it you'll end up becoming lazy and disappointed. You'll be lazy because you'll live your life assuming that you don't have to try so hard because luck will balance things out for you.

The difference between helping and fixing
It's easy to find yourself stuck between helping someone and fixing things for them. When you help you teach and offer tools giving the other person a chance to grow, develop and learn to do things for themselves.

Working for the weekend
There's got to be another way. When it comes to work I don't believe that you should hate it.
