Steemit Engagement Challenge S12W1 | The Luck.

Hope you all are doing well and good and enjoying the best days of your life. This is me @shahid2030 from Pakistan and you are here reading my post. You all are welcome here from the core of my heart.

This is my participation in a contest The Luck organized in Reflections of Life by @hive-190211.

I am really interested in such topics like Luck, fate, destiny and things like that. These are very debatable topics and we often talk about it at university. For me I think the success of only few are due to luck and fortune and fate. Maybe 0.1% people get succeeded in life due to luck, the rest is only duebto hardwork. So let's talk about the role of luck in our personal life.

Let me first clear the meaning of Stroke of luck here first. Stroke of luck means: a random or unexpected and positive turn on events or fortune in one's personal life. It can be anything, such as; finding a valuable thing, winning a prize, or achieving success when their is no chances of it, through unexpected way.

Now coming toward my own personal life, whether I am ever hit upon stroke of luck in life or not. So, the answer to my question is no, and even a big no hahaha. I am not someone who is very unlucky or something like that, but I am not amongst the luckiest one too. I have had a normal and let's see what happens in the future.

I do believe my all achievements in my life is due to hardwork. Even I have done hardwork for too many things in my life, but I couldn't get it. For example, I have created a YouTube channel some years before, I used to work on it for more than 5 hours daily. It continues for one good year. We were uploading regular videos and in one year I think I have uploaded 300 plus videos. You will be shocked I have got only 1.4k subscribers and nothing more. I did have to quit it.

I have mentioned this example is I am not that luckiest that I will put all my life achievements in the hands of luck. Even I am many times unlucky despite of hardwork. So my luck took many things from and not given me anything.

If losing things is luck then you can call me the most unluckiest person of my family. I have lost Three mobiles in my life, one of them was very expensive. I have lost 10k PKR once. My mom gave me to send someone and I lost it on the way. In crypto Ahhhh! let's not talk about it. On 7th Aug 2023, I lost above $200 and you may call it luck, because what happened to me was all luck and not my mistake. So this is me with luck in my finance life.

I do believe on this phrase and I think this is the secret of many's success. Let me associat an another phrase of the same moto with it "Hard work pays off". The phrase eventually means: those who are courageous, daring, and willing to step outside their comfort zones in life are more likely to encounter and avail opportunities and achieve their goals. It simply tells us that, if you take risks and being adventurous in life, you have a greater chance of success and you can get a favorable outcomes.

Let me mention that the wording of this phrase are not hundred percent guarantee. It doesn't mean if you work hard you will obviously get your favourable results. It doesn't happen all the time. You may see my example I have mentioned. I worked really really hard on YouTube, but the net result was zero. So we can conclude that yes hard work does pay off, but not in all the cases.

I will talk about my bad luck, which encountered me last time and it happened very recent. It was 7th of August I was trading on binanace. I had opened a future trade on YGG/USDT pair. It's price was kind of fluctuating so I kept a low leverage.It price was $0.54 that time. I was already entered in a future short trade. I put another other at $0.60. I thought it's not going to happen that YGG will touch it, but Incase if it touches it, it will surely comes down and I will get profit of it.

I exist the binanace and when I came back after 10 minutes I saw a shocking thing. YGG was at 0.68. It goes up and up and never comes back. It went to 0.75 then come back to 0.70. I close my short and thought it will atleast go to 0.80, as it was behaving. I put a huge leverage on it. It only touched 0.73 for some seconds and in a moment it went back to $0.60.

With first Short trade I lost approx $80 and with long I lost above $130. I got liquidized just in 15 minutes. The jumping of YGG from $0.54 to $0.75 and was unexpected, and then I got trapped very badly that was unexpected too. I think it was all luck, who trapped me there. You know that day YGG went to $0.40. So if it didn't show that fake pump, it was possible I would get $50 plus profit.

But I think everything happens for the betterment. We should be agree happened to us. What is to happened is already done, now the best thing is if we should focus on our future. Ups in Downs are the parts of life.

This is all about my post for today. I hope I have best explained it. See you soon with a new amazing and interesting topic, till take care.
