Luck

Unfortunately you cannot choose when or what you will be lucky with.

The week that went by

Had a very tough week. Tough like not in quite a while. Endlessly long meetings with deliveries and a lot of external and self induced pressure. The mind just didnt know when to stop. Got very little sleep. At 7 pm this evening could feel it having shrunk into the size of a golf ball. The weeekend is here but still no signs of sleep.

Statistical Probabilities

Ananth has a gift for insight.

The other day as he commented that "A goal is nothing but a statistical probability".

Remarkable observation.

One needs to dwell on this for a moment cause it would be very easy to jump to the conclusion that all effort is pointless. Afterall, the instinct to be lethargic is the most dominant instict in most individuals (sorry for the generalisation, whats true for me need not be true to you though I have a feeling that you do agree with me).

Moral of the story, one can be nothing but a trier. The harder you try, the better your chances of success which incidentally is not guaranteed. After 80 minutes of trying hard, Ronaldo manages to pass one to Figo who heads it over the goal post. Two of the highest paid football players in the world. Highest paid because they try the hardest amongst the best.
