You won lottery. Wow! You are lucky guy! Everybody also will say that good luck is with you.
You pass the exam with high score. You tried hard. But yet, you are lucky.
You lost money for buying lottery tickets. You did not win. You are unlucky guy.
You failed the exam. You did not try enough or you did not have chance and time enough to do it to pass. But yet, you are unlucky guy. Bad luck is with you.
Alright. I have stories, which are I have read, heard, seen and faced through out my life about those ‘lucky’ and ‘unlucky’ matters. Let us begin with the story of an old man and his son. This is the story that I have heard in a tape.
Once, an old man had a teenage son and a horse.
One day, the only horse that the old man had was lost. Old man and his son were very sad and people said that the old man was unlucky; the bad luck was with him.
Wait a minute, how can you say that losing a horse was an unlucky matter?
A few weeks later, it was surprise. The losing horse unexpectedly came back home and yet, she took another horse with her. Nobody knew who has owned that horse but the new horse was young, strong and beautiful. The old man owned it.
Old man and his son were very happy and people said that the old man was such a lucky guy.
Wait a minute, how can you say that having two horses was a lucky matter?
A couple days later, teenage son tried to ride the new horse. He failed down from the horse and his right leg was broken.
The old man and his son were very sad and people said that those father and son were very unlucky.
Wait a minute, how can you say that being broken of a person’s right leg was such an unlucky matter?
One year later, the boy’s broken leg was recovered and even he could run and ride horses. During that year, there was a war between the old man’s country and its neighbor. Every adult who was over 17 years old ordered to join the army by the government to fill the emergency need of army in order to go for the war. The old man’s son was 19, exactly. Nevertheless, because of his broken leg record, he was legally escaped from going for war.
The old man and his son were very glad and people said that they were very lucky.
Wait a minute, how can you say that just escaping from going for war was a lucky matter?
