Being Lucky and UnLucky???

...Well, i got an inspiration to write this one when i was on my way  to go home from work. I went home on foot everyday. It only takes 10 minutes from the place i stay in. Yeah, when i walked alone after buying food today, i just saw so many luxurious cars parked in front of the supermarket and i also saw some kids sing songs to some people in the cars to ask money, the old man picked cans and collected them, and also a kid sold some brooms in front of the mall. I wonder how the people in the cars feel when they saw the old man and the the kid and vice versa. Well, if i ask a question to you, "Who is the luckiest person in that situation?" then what u will answer.. I bet you all answer that the people in the car who are waiting for their relatives do shopping in the supermarket are the luckiest people.


Well, from what i saw today..I can say  "I AM A LUCKY GIRL".  Why do i say i am a lucky girl? Yeah, I do not have a luxury car, i am not a very beautiful girl and also i am not a very smart girl but you know i got more than that.. I have many people around me who always be with me and loving me sincerely. I can say that we do not need to have a fancy house, a luxurious car, and much money to be a lucky person. From my point of view, being lucky is only the situation when we can be thankful for what we already had. Sometimes, we only say we are LUCKY when we already had everything we need and few of us say that we are LUCKY though they have nothing even when they are getting mad to think how they will get their food for the next days. Well, we need to go back to the story i told you in the first paragraph. I just wonder how they will say if i asked to the people in the car, the kid and the old man .."ARE YOU LUCKY TO BE WHO YOU ARE?" ..I find that many people say they are lucky when they have much money and the things they need but you will realize that YOU are just LUCKY to be who you are now after watching this video...


What will you say when you are in that man situation? Will you say you are lucky for being in that man place? I bet some of you will say I am not LUCKY..I am so sad and i have so many burdens. But see, he and his family still be happy when they are in a very hard time, indeed. You see how happy his children to welcome his dad come home and bring them food? As you know what kind of food his dad bring but they still thank to God for what He gave to them. They still feel LUCKY.. and just be happy for the life they had. We can learn many things from this video... Once again, being LUCKY is not only when we got so many things we need in this life but it is about how we can be thankful for what we already had whatever it is. Family is the best thing that make us feel lucky in whatever situation we are. I am not teaching you, I am not telling you how lucky you are but i just want you all and I learn together how to thank to for the life that God has given to us. 

"People are lucky and unlucky not according to what they get absolutely, but according to the ratio between what they get and what they have been led to expect."
