chapter 7 quotes

Even when we're lucky, we've usually worked remarkable hard to put ourselves in that position.

: There's no such thing as luck. Say u picked up a 100 dollar bill on the street, u might think u really got blessed or something but not. It's all because you have done something that drove you down there. U must have done something very charitable that some guy put a bill in ur path way, waiting for the best timing.

In short, being observant, open-minded , friendly, and optimistic invites luck your way.

: No kidding! u have to be observing a lot unless u want to miss any bill lying on the street. And, open-minded! dah! u need to embrace stuff even if they may look dull and boring, who knows? in a stupid looking sea shell you might be able to find a pearl.

Lucky people don't just pay attention to the world around them and meet interesting individuals.

: Yeah~ pimps don't hang with wanna bees~ cuz they know they're something. True that u don have to prick ur ears to hear bull crap from ur fruit head friends! go meet people for real!
