When I graduated from eigth grade at the Colegio Junipero, my classmates said I was lucky to receive the general excellence medal. I remember thinking it had nothing to do with good luck, everything to do with hard work and persistence, which translated to better grades and test scores, the best in the class.
Some people say they are lucky. I often wonder if it is provident they mean. After all, luck is a chance encounter with good fortune, while providence seems to be an act of God.
Luck would have one win the lottery, while providence would place one in the right place at the right time. Or is it the other way around?
Like wishing and hoping, luck and providence can be a bit confusing.
Are hopes nothing more than wishes? Or is it the other way around?

no such thing as luck in my opinion, just coincidences. however there happens to be a lot of them, which arises the question of providence. and at that point im just clueless :P
