Have you ever been jealous of someone because he or she has been successful at something? Have you ever said “Shr just got lucky”? Listen to what famous football coach Darrell Royal says about luck: Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity. Lucille Ball, famous American comedienne, says it another way: Luck to me is hard work. So whats the moral of this story? If you want to be lucky in life, you need to get prepared for what it is you want. So study hard. Get a good education and be prepared. You’ll be ready to meet Lady Luck when she knocks on your door. Let’s have a great week Mighty Wolves!
