Decent Essays
Luck is defined in our modern dictionaries as good or bad fortune. I’ve always had bad luck, the simplest things in my life always become the biggest headaches. Normal situations that occur in every individual’s life always tend to take me on a roll coaster. Maybe I was born under the wrong sign or something not only does my bad luck stick with me, it also has effects on people around me. The day I was born should have been the happiest day of my parents life but no it was more stress and miniscule happiness.

The place that I remember going to most is the hospital with broken bones and other sorts of injuries. One would think that I was involved in sports and adventures but, sadly that’s not the case I was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. For example just last year I went to watch a basketball game, at first everything seemed normal in fact better than before, I was enjoying myself and having the time of my life but of course nothing could remain positive in my life. At the end of the basketball game we were trying to leave and there were big crowds energetic and full of excitement but all it took was one push for me to slip and here the cracking sounds of my elbow …show more content…
The night before, my car broke down for no apparent reason, prior to taking my test I had taken my car to the mechanic and had repairs done for a hefty cost. I had to borrow my friend’s car for the test which was a hassle itself. It was a somber Monday morning in December after the weekend everyone was getting back to the cycle of work. I put on whatever I could find grabbed a doughnut and headed out, the cold weather sent shocks throughout my whole body. I was late for the test, and the examiner I got was a real loser his facial expressions spoke before he did, he had no interest in being here and was ready to fail me. During the test, I did everything wrong I wasn’t familiar with my friends car considering I had never drove it before, my long hours of practice were on my car which bailed on me at the last moment. The start of test was somewhat smooth but the instructor’s deep angry voice was starting to take a toll on me. After pulling out everything went downhill I started making wide turns, forgot to turn on signals and to top it off I even hit something while parking god knows what it was but me and the instructor both heard the bang and felt the impact. You can imagine how the instructor acted when he told me I had failed, he had utter disgust on his face and was ready to leave my car before his final statement “before you go take a test of any sort it might be a good idea to practice” he

    Some of my successes in life include winning baseball tournaments, getting voted into the allstars in my baseball league, being the youngest kid in colorado to get his license to hunt, and firing a 306 when i was 6 without my arm falling off. My 1st success in baseball was when i was 7 years old and my team was losing the championship game by 2 points, so when i got up to bat there was a guy on 3d base and on 2nd, we already had 2 outs so if i got out we lost the game here. So when i got up to bat i got 2 strikes and the next pitch i hit allowing me to get to 2nd base and my teammates on bases 2 and 3 to get home and score the 2 points we needed to tie the game and go into overtime.…

    The first one is phenomenon of constitutive luck; this first way is for a type of person that you are, this isn’t just a question to what you do. It determines you inclinations, capacities, and temperaments. A different category is luck in one’s circumstances; which means that one must face their problems and situations. The other two ways have to do with the cause and effect of how a person acts; luck is how one is determined by antecedent circumstances, and how lucks to that person’s actions and how they project out. Nagel is right, the only way a person can really truly have good luck is by projecting and acting out in a positive way.…
