You know what really grinds my gears? - GoFuckYourself.com

luv$ · 06-28-2007, 01:35 AM

People who fucking OOZE luck out of their ass like a Lucky Charms ******* and then turn around and boast and brag and rub it in everyone's faces how important, smart, perfect and talented they are.

There are people who WORK THEIR FUCKING ASSES OFF and the extra effort by those not blessed with AMAZING luck goes unnoticed.

It's a good thing to be lucky - no one is discounting that but those who benefit should be humble in the face of fortune.

luv$ · 06-28-2007, 01:36 AM

Oh, and another thing, whoever believes "man makes his own luck" - really think about what you're saying there. It's a contradiction in terms and just caters to humanity's false sense of importance.

the harder i work the luckier i get

luv$ · 06-28-2007, 01:37 AM

and btw nothing to do with adult or gfyers or whatever - just some people in my personal life who need a reality check.

Generally speaking these are true, but we ALL know that these are not the end al be all of life's equations. These statements blatantly ignore one very important facet of our existence: the details.

Anyway, no more fortune cookie philosophies please.

These aren't fortune cookie philosophies, they're true. Even the saying, "Fortune favours the bold," implies action on your part.

But sure, sometimes success is a matter of being at the right place at the right time. If it's pure luck that's keeping these people along, just know (or if you're petty, be glad) that lucky streaks can't last forever.

Also, perhaps a lot of the people they're gloating to are not impressed and are also sick of them.

details are - there's WORK and there's making yourself busy so you look like you are working.

the harder I WORK the luckier i get.

harder is definded not just as time in either. harder can be sceen as smarter

Luck = Skill + opputunity

If you dont have the skill, and dont place yourself in a situation where you can get lucky (take risks) you cant expect to have many good things happend to you.

If you dont understand that, you are stupid as well.

work harder instead of spending time on GFY

aico · 06-28-2007, 02:11 AM

there is no such thing as luck, and it grinds my gears when people use lack of luck as an excuse.

luv$ · 06-28-2007, 02:11 AM

Great feedback guys - this topic has always fascinated me and I love to hear peoples' thoughts on it.

luv$ · 06-28-2007, 02:17 AM

I also find it interesting how a lot of threads get personalized by people responding to them. It seems like a lot of people at GFY kind of lie in wait for people to victimize themselves so they can be ridiculed.

Topics often morph from "this is what this person is thinking and feeling at the moment he posted" to "this is who this person is" and people get into a fervor.

GFY is such a strange, dynamic community.

Lucky for me (pun intended) I know who I am and don't feel obligated to explain it away. Therefore I naturally avoid these kind of traps.

Either way, back on topic the point isn't what luck comes from or whether it exists, it's the disgusting habit of some people I know in RL to be pompous and lie to top it off; and how it is irritating.

Sure, if what you're really saying is: "I'm a fake nick"

Troll elsewhere buddy

There's tons of crap being posted on this board every 5 minutes. If I want to vent a bit then I'm going to, your take on what my "ulterior motives" are don't really concern me too much. Thanks for playing though

They are simple snazzy one liners people rip off to summarize a great many things.

I'm guilty of saying them myself. However I do, and have worked hard but... I sum it up in a one liner to get people who want to know the 'secrets' off my back.

Work + Knowledge + Work + Talent + Work + Communication habilities = LUCK

*Sometimes* being at the right moment in the right place helps of course, but it really depends on you, everyone is in the right place at the right moment some time but not everyone notices that.
