Therefore Luck => Random Number

Is there anything like luck?? It puzzles me sometimes.

If I say there is no such thing as luck there are ample occasions that I will not be able to explain an occurance. But, to attribute something completely to luck would mean believing there are things not under your control but dependent on your luck; which, is scary to even think of.

My Conclusion - Random number.

I feel there is a random numer (please note it is not luck, it is just random) which could go anyway +/-. It has evolved through the ages to be now known as luck, fate and what not.

Assume the amount of work you have done should give a result X. There is a number delta X such that the final output you get is X + delta X. This delta X is a random number a factor that cannot be determined, everytime throwing up something new. I just keep my fingers crossed that my delta X doesn't go (too) negative atleast for major things.

I also believe if we do a mean of delta X over a large number of events spread over a long time period, we would get the value ZERO.

I am not able to decide though, while calculating the mean, whether there is some weightage for delta X depending on the importance of the event. What do you think?
