Oftentimes, we heard phrases like you're so lucky, lucky numbers, lucky cards or lucky streaks. Do I believe in all these? Pardon my manners please, I trust everyone in this amazing community is great! It's my delight to be part of this week's contest and I will be glad to tell you my stance on this topic, but then I would like to invite my friends @stef1 @dexsyluz and @eliany to this contest.

Have You Had A Stroke Of Luck In Your Life? Tell Us An Anecdote

I don't believe in getting something for nothing, while growing up my parents taught me the importance of hard work, coupled with good qualities like honesty, humility and respect, so I've learned that hard work pays but most importantly trusting in Almighty God for his blessings, favour and riches.

I've not had streaks of luck before, because I don't believe in them, I don't used to play lottery or gamble. But I believe in God's blessings, he used to favour me on many occasions and that is because I gave him something to bless, yes God loves and blesses those who are hardworking and not the lazy ones.

For example I'm favoured just recently, the Steemit team appointed me and 29 other dedicated Steemians to represent this great platform, and I will say am fortunate to be chosen, but this appointment was not based on gambling, the Steemit team based their decision on each user's activities on the platform, they've set their requirements and only chooses the best, yes those who proves themselves worthy. So in this case I gave God something to bless by Being hardworking, and boom he showed me favor in the eyes of the team. But had it been I was lazy and inactive, there's no way this would've happened.

Do You Think Your Achievements Have Been Due To Hard Work Or Luck? Support Your Opinion.

I believe that whatever I've achieved in this life is due to hard work. For example, I came out as one of the best students from my department, I can't attribute this to some sort of luck but hard work and God's favour, because I used to study day and night and then God gave me a retentive memory to always recalled what I read, yes he blessed my efforts.

Again when I was working in the bank, I can't recall when I paid for my lunches and this is because my customers used to, and every week I will be going home with nothing less than 5 thousand Naira Yes my customers used to dash me, and this was because I was always nice, respectful and humble, I wasn't saucy but then I worked smart. It was these beautiful qualities that helped me to win their favours, yes actions and not luck!

What Does The Phrase "Fortune Favors The Bold" Mean To You?

This term just supports my assertions that to be successful in life we must act. Action here entails hard work, it encourages pushing beyond the limits of what we think we can do and taking calculative risks and then we will be successful. Courageous ones are often the most successful so we should always act boldly and take risks but most importantly trust in God to bless our efforts and then we will reap a large reward.

We shouldn't fold our hands sitting down and believe in some sort of luck, rather we should try out new things, giving the Almighty God something to bless!

What Was The Last Time You Had Good Or Bad Luck? Talk about your own experience

As I said before I don't believe in good luck neither on bad ones. Rather I believe in hardworking and trusting in God to bless my efforts and show me favor in his eyes and the eyes of men. He's been faithful to me and my blessings are countless, thank you for reading me!

Good morning ma, please I invited someone to steemit and for some days he has not been verified and this has left him asking me lot of questions whether steemit is the right platform.

Please I would need your help in reviewing his introduction post so that he could move to the next part in his steemit journey.
