Sometimes success requires effort, and sometimes everything falls into place effortlessly. But in both cases, a little luck often plays a role. 
Perfect Timing – My car broke down on a remote highway with no service. The first car to pass?
My grandfather, who lived three hours away and had randomly decided on a trip. 
Hidden Treasure – My mother-in-law gave me an old sewing machine. Years later, after my husband left me with nothing, she revealed a secret—real diamonds were hidden inside. We sold them and moved to France. 
Beginner’s Luck – My wife’s first-ever fishing cast landed just inches from her feet—straight into the mouth of a massive bass.
Meanwhile, I caught nothing with my expensive gear. 
A Lucky Grade – I was short on points to keep my scholarship. My professor, an animal lover, noticed cat fur on my sweater. When I said I had three cats, he smiled and gave me the grade. 
A Fortunate Find – Broke and struggling, I found $50 in the snow.
I waited an hour for its owner, but no one came. That money put gas in my car and food on my table—a turning point in my life.
Cash on the Riverbank – While lamenting how I couldn’t afford a festival ticket, I found £160 lying on the riverbank. Right place, right time. Sometimes, luck finds us when we least expect it
