Chance is an "inside thing" and Luck an "outside thing" . We 'Take' a chance, it's a conscious thing. Luck is a random 'tail wind' or 'head wind' which is completely out of your control.

Big wins often happen when one takes a chance. The key is to see how much the drop is in the event the chance doesn't pay off.

Now I've really woken up this morning - my brain galvanized into thinking about luck, chance, serendipity and happenstance, fluke and blessing with today's FC. It reminds me of when I was in high school English grammar class, studying Ronald Ridout (oh, he was kind of the Bible for grammar back then). But this is far more interesting and pleasurable. Finally, I must say that it was pure serendipity that brought me to FC, by browsing SubStack and finding FC, long before I first met you. Thank you for another Sunday's musings.
