Listen to five people talking about luck.0:08
Number the statements A to E in the order you hear them.0:11
I don't think luck has anything to do with whether we do well in life or not.0:18
It's true that there have been situations when I've considered myself very lucky.0:23
But after rational thinking, I have come to realize that anything good that's happened to me is the result of hard work and careful planning.0:28
I've been carrying this little golden coin with me ever since I was a little girl.0:38
I believe that if I lose it, something bad will happen to me.0:44
Once I was halfway through a trip when I realized I'd left it at home.0:49
Well, I drove back three hours to get it, and then I went on my way again.0:54
I don't remember who it was that said the only sure thing about luck is that it will change.1:01
But I certainly agree with them.1:07
I felt really fortunate in my life quite a few times.1:10
But I don't expect good luck to follow me around for the rest of my life.1:13
Over the years, I've managed to raise a wonderful family, have a very good business, and be surrounded by friends I love and trust.1:19
So I can say that my life is blessed with good fortune.1:28
But that alone doesn't help.1:32
If you don't do something yourself to make sure your dreams come true, good luck won't be enough.1:34
Lately, I've been having one problem after the other.1:43
I'm not superstitious, but I really feel I've done something to make Lady Luck angry.1:46
But maybe I worry too much.1:52
If the saying good things come to those who wait is true, then I can only hope that with a little more patience, things will improve for me.1:53
