from Thomas Jefferson. Remember Thomas Jefferson of course, the third President

Here's the quote. " I'm a greater believer in luck and I find the harder I work the
more I have of it. " Okay. It's a good quote. However, let's continue here.
This quote has often been credited to Thomas Jefferson but some now question
it because they cannot confirm it in any of his known writings , but still
maybe he did say it. Maybe somebody heard it, but they you know, they can't pinpoint
it. But it still believed that this one originally came from him. Anyway let's
continue. Here we say there is, there's also quote by Coleman Cox who's also

Okay. Let's continue. No matter who first you know, said this quote or who first
wrote this quote, there is much truth to it. It basically means you make your own
luck. Yeah. Luck doesn't just appear out of air.
You make it by working hard. You will accomplish more and people will notice
this. This of course could lead to more job offers or more opportunities. Thus,
you make your own luck in this way. Many people believe, you know... not many
believe... many people sit around wishing luck will come to them. Oh why can't I be
lucky > Why can't that just happen to me ? Why doesn't it just come to me ? Or
I don't know , maybe you put all your faith in buying a lottery
ticket or something like that. People sit around wishing luck we'll
just come their way. That's usually not how it happens. By working hard you
attract opportunities and the opportunity , and the opportunities and
with opportunities comes luck basically. Yeah It's kind of related to the idea of
karma. A little bit too you know, with karma when you do good things, good
things come back to you. When you do bad things, bad things come back to you. Well

of what these quotes mean. That's what they're letting you know. By these quotes.
Don't just sit around waiting for the luck to just appear out of nowhere, and
just come your way. By working hard you make it , you create your own luck. Anyway, I
hope you got it. I hope it's clear. hank you for your time. Bye-bye
