Luck Shines on the Deserving

Alexander Graham Bell was desperately trying to invent a hearing aid for his partially
deaf wife. He failed at inventing a hearing aid but in the process discovered the principles
of the telephone. You wouldn't call someone like that lucky, would you?Good luck is
when opportunity meets preparation. Without effort and preparation, lucky coincidences
don't happen.

                                                              He worked by day
                                                              And toiled by night.
                                                                 He gave up play
                                                                And some delight.
                                                              Dry books he read,
                                                              New things to learn.
                                                              And forged ahead,
                                                                Success to earn.
                                                             He plodded on with
                                                                 Faith and pluck;
                                                              And when he won,
                                                                 Men called it luck.
