[QUOTE="Oldfart, post: 2442519, member: 64407"] Can't figure out why the word LUCK is constantly used when people want to show their jealousy as to what I have as compared to what you don't. Luck is defined as "success or failure apparently brought by chance rather than through one's own actions". Making the decision to quit a better paying job at UPS to go work at a fairly unknown company is not luck. Working two part time jobs to make ends meet while working on getting a full time job to support is not luck. I know plenty of others worked 2 jobs because you do what you have to do. That isn't luck, that is being responsible. So EVERY person that got hired before me or with me is LUCKY? We had an opportunity and took advantage of it. Thousands of people were hired before me and left the company for 1 reason or another. I stuck it out and 40 years later, here I am. Don't kid yourself, the haters are gonna hate the people that have achieved something that they don't have. Meanwhile, the miserables are gonna whine and complain no matter what. Quit worrying about what others have and just concern yourself with what you have. [/QUOTE]
