> This afternoon, I was watching a race on the tube. My favorite driver, Mark Martin, was in third with just a few laps left. He was about to make a pass for second with an outside chance of catching the leader for a win. I remember commenting that something was about to fall out of the sky and land on him. He has had some really wierd bad luck this season, and as a result has won only one race. Sure enough, he slowed suddenly and finished 15th. I think they said he had a flat on the next to last lap.

Yup, luck plays a big part in life. Lots of people don't believe in luck. I think their neurons are too far apart.

It's possible to make bad decisions and increase the odds of bad luck. It's possible to make bad decisions and not have any problems at all! That doesn't make them good decisions, it makes you lucky.

Remember, even if the odds are fifty times out of a hundred of getting heads instead of tails, the probability EXISTS that you could get tails 55 times in a row.
