Treacherous trap of Luck

Once there was an enthusiastic young boy, ambitious but not brilliant. He appeared for several engineering entrance exams and wasn’t so hopeful of clearing through any top rung of colleges. The pleasant surprise of his life was he got through the most prestigious one. Luck bestowed on him, and he was the talk of the circle because of Almighty being too generous on him.

He met a beautiful girl in the college, who was from a well-established business family. She fell in love with him. Our boy was average looking, and from a middle-class family. What a stroke of luck again! Such incongruous alliance, which some might refer to as foolishness, I prefer to call as made in heaven, simply because I want to respect the boon of luck by God.

Next, the boy was approved by girl’s father as boy claimed not to be interested in his money, but just his daughter. How lucky! They got married, and unfortunately, after a few years the girl’s father died of heart attack, and she became the sole owner of his business. Like any other dedicated wife she requested her husband to be the COO of her company so that she can take care of the family. Some people never ask for anything, and GOD gives them everything.

Now the life was going good, and our boy had a life which he could never have thought off.Then suddenly there was a blow of luck, and he was inclined to a girl in his office. However, he thought the girl was the best blessing among all the others showered on him. Their affair continued for around four years, and then guess what? He was caught red handed by his wife when he least expected it. She divorced him, chucked him out of the job, and all assets seized in lieu of compensation. The office girl left him because she loved a COO and not a pauper who couldn’t even manage his wife.

He was back to square one, nothing left with him but an engineering degree, which was of no use with such a tainted reputation. When he needed the most, always his own, even luck ditched him.

Don’t think if luck has favored you several times; it will always favor you. Like any other thing, never commit the mistake of taking the luck for granted. The irony is most of the time being lucky makes you ambitious and fearless, and it ignites you to drive the life rashly. There’s a high chance of meeting an accident in such an inebriated state. Don’t fall into the vicious trap of luck. You can even thank GOD if you are not so lucky as long as you have a head on your shoulders.
