Luck

Luck: One word that's used as an excuse if one fails, or if someone else succeeds. Living in a world full of envious people, I've often faced situations where my success or their failure is often measured on 'LUCK'.

For example, I have a friend who scored 93% in her 10th board examination. She was not such a sincere student at school. She hated going to skool and for the days when she used to go, she was never found in her class. Always out for some or the other practice or some work or simply bunking. This girl used to be amongst the Top-3 students in her junior classes. As she grew up she got more indulged in friends and school life and got diverted away from studies. But when she reached her board class, being an ambitious girl, she realised that studying properly this year would actually help her in her future. So she started studying according to her study plan right from the begining of her session and managed to get 90+ as her result.

Ok, now let's forget about this girl and talk about something else. How many times have you found those 'good-for'nothing' ridiculous people who do nothing but try to put you down by their stupid useless remarks? Well, if I talk about myself, I'm most of the times surrounded by such people. And so is this girl, who I have mentioned above.

So, after her result, she was so very glad as it was her mother's b'day too that day, and she couldn't have given a better gift to her other than this. But, as I mentioned the 'good-for-nothing' people, they felt it was her LUCK. Screw them! The girl who worked so hard, who studied till 3 at night, her efforts were being termed as LUCK. Poor thing! That girl is still very happy for her result, becuase she knew she worked hard, and she deserved what she got. She doesn't care about what people are saying. But somewhere deep within, this thing hurts. It hurts to know that people who were already talking about her behind her back, are still not able to face her success. They're not able to accept the fact that the shy stupid girl, who never said anything , has slapped them so hard, not physically, but potentially.

Anyway, some things never change. These people belong to a special specie of mankind, which is too jealous to face their ego being ripped off in front of everyone. Lol.. Nothing new.. It has been happening since ages. Remember the Mahabharata times? Ha ha..

There's a reason why that girl never spoke up. There's a reason why that girl used to laugh off the taunts. The reason was that she knew she WILL get an opportunity to prove herself and I'm glad she did.. :)

Mind you, Luck doesn't matter, it's your hard work that really does..

High Five!
The girl hit them without warning, they're just too stunned and too embarrassed and this is their way of trying to feel better about themselves. The girl should find this an ego boost instead of a frustration (lol!)
I know the girl very well since a long time, she's smart and has a great writing style (she once helped me with a song and wrote superb lyrics!)
*winks*
