Luck
It’s quite difficult to say what the “luck” is. There is no official definition of that word (or I haven’t found such). But generally If we say that somebody is lucky it means that it’s more probable that he’ll succeed than he will fail or that it often happens something nice to him. Of course that definition doesn’t divide people for lucky and unlucky. It’s not possible, everyone is different, everyone has different aims and dreams and everyone has different definition of “luck” (e.g if I found or won 100 zl, I would be very happy – I would say that it’s my lucky day. But if some very rich man saw or won 100 zl, it would be surprised and he wouldn’t like waste his time to get it).
There are some people who believe that there are some things which can provide them “luck”. For example: elephants, some rings, charms, talismans …. In my opinion there is no power of luck in these items but if someone believes that it can help or encourage him to do something then it would work (they will be more confident and that will help them to achieve a goal). I’ve one item which should provide me luck and happiness – it’s tape recorder - I got it from Santa Clause – but I keep it only for fun and I don’t get rid of presents so keep it in my room. I don’t belie in such items, but some of my friends got special thing from which provide happiness. I hate stereotypes, so it not typical item – it’s chain – bicycle chain. Plush earthworm …
There are many superstitions connected with luck. For example walking under the ladder is very unlucky, if someone find a 1GR it is almost certain that he will have a luck; some people believe that breaking the mirror brings 7 unlucky years on person who did it …
What about lucky days in my life. To tell the truth I can’ find any special lucky days. People usually don’t see that they had luck. But I would say (If I can of course) about my unlucky days, because that will show that the other days were quite lucky. The firs situation – my unlucky day – took place on last year holydays. It was two weeks before 1st term school. I had finished repairing my bike and after two weeks break I could ride. I decided to go on Magdalenka hill (the highest place near Rzeszów). I phoned to my friend, we set off and 40 minutes later we’ve almost reached the pick. Suddenly we saw a dog on our way. I decided to slow down because earlier I had almost had an accident because of dog). But that dog was so … and it started to run directly into my bike and that mad dog made a whole in my tire using it’s claw. But justice do not sleep and after that dog couldn’t run anymore because of broken leg. It was very unlucky day. I didn’t mind walking with bike home it wasn’t first time when I had to do that but I couldn’t try my bike, I couldn’t run and I felt awful!
