Types of Luck Can Enrich Your Work-Life
We often think of “luck” as some mystical force, a random roll of life’s dice, as I used to when playing my favorite childhood game, Fallout. In Fallout, the “Luck” stat seemed like the throwaway option. It wasn’t something you could control, right? Or could you?

Why People Stay Silent During Your Success
A simple story can sometimes carry the most profound life lessons. One such story is that of a young girl and her wise grandfather, who used an unusual but powerful metaphor to teach her about success, envy, and the nature of people. It’s a story that resonates with many of us, especially when we look at how others react to our achievements and setbacks. A Grandfather's Wisdom: The Tale of the Golden Eggs One day, a young girl approached her grandfather, curious and eager to learn from his wisdom. “Grandpa, what important life lesson can you teach me?” she asked. After a moment of thought, her grandfather said, "I have something valuable to teach you, but first, I need you to do something that will get everyone’s attention." The girl, now intrigued, asked, "What should I do, Papa?" Her grandfather replied, "Go around the neighbourhood and tell everyone that my ostrich laid six golden eggs. Each egg is worth millions, and soon, I’ll be one of the wealthiest men in town." Though confused, the girl followed his instructions and shared the exciting news with everyone in the neighbourhood. But much to her surprise, no one came to congratulate them. The neighborhood was silent. No celebration, no acknowledgement. The next day, her grandfather gave her a new task. “Now,” he said, “go and tell everyone that during the night, a thief came, destroyed my house, killed my ostrich, and stole all the golden eggs. Let them know I’ve lost everything.” This time, something different happened. The girl spread the news again, and within hours, a large crowd had gathered outside their house, eager to see the damage for themselves. Puzzled, the girl asked her grandfather, “Papa, why did no one come when we shared the good news, but now everyone is here after hearing the bad news?” Her grandfather smiled knowingly and said, “When people hear good news about you, they often stay silent. But when they hear bad news, they spread it quickly and rush to see if it’s true. Most people are slow to celebrate your success, but quick to witness your downfall.” Why People Stay Silent During Your Success This tale reflects a common reality. While you may expect people to cheer for you during your wins, the truth is that not everyone will. When you succeed, some people—whether out of jealousy, insecurity, or envy—may feel threatened or uncomfortable. They might not openly express their true feelings, but their silence speaks volumes. On the other hand, when something negative happens, you may notice that people are quick to react. It’s not that everyone delights in your misfortune, but bad news has a way of drawing attention. People gossip, they share, and they spread the word. Sometimes, it’s driven by curiosity and other times; it’s driven by their subconscious desire to feel better about themselves by seeing others falter. Facing Envy and Negativity: A Powerful Life Lesson The young girl's experience with the golden eggs teaches a lesson that many of us face in adulthood. As you rise in life—whether it’s in your career, relationships, or personal growth—you’ll encounter people who will envy your progress. These might be people you know, love, or trust. It can be disappointing, even painful, to realize that not everyone is genuinely happy for you. But the real lesson here is that other people’s reactions should never dictate your success. The grandfather’s words are wise: “What matters is how you live your own life. Focus on your goals, follow your dreams, and don’t let the jealousy or opinions of others stand in your way.” The truth is, you can’t control how others feel about your success. Some will cheer for you, and some won’t. That’s life. But what you can control is how you respond. Do you let the silence of others or their negative reactions hold you back? Or do you continue to press forward, motivated by your vision for success? The True Meaning Behind the Golden Eggs Story At its core, this story is about resilience. It’s about learning to rise above the noise—both the silence and the negative chatter. People may not always clap for your wins, and they may be quick to gather when things go wrong. But success is not about the approval of others. It’s about how steadfastly you pursue your dreams, regardless of who is watching. This realization is crucial because, as you move through life, you’ll face moments of both triumph and failure. The valuable golden eggs in the story symbolize the gifts, talents, and opportunities you possess. Whether others acknowledge them or not should have no bearing on your self-worth or your determination to succeed. Living Beyond Others’ Opinions: The Key to Success The biggest takeaway from the Golden Eggs story is that your success is your own, and so is your journey. Don’t measure your achievements by the applause or criticism of others. One of the most empowering things you can do is to live beyond the opinions of others. People will always have something to say, but that should never affect your path. As you pursue your dreams and work toward your goals, stay focused on what truly matters—your vision, your effort, and your determination. The crowd may only show up for the bad news, but the victories that count are the ones you celebrate internally, with or without an audience. In the end, the family, friends, and community you create will be those who support you genuinely through both the highs and the lows. Surround yourself with those who celebrate your success, and protect your heart from the noise of negativity. Focus on your journey, live your life fully, and never let anyone or anything stop you from chasing your dreams.

Dance School
Please note: Names have been changed as this is a true story based on personal experiences. There is no consensus on whether Ballet is a sport or an art, though many agree it adheres to some criteria of both. Like many other girls, I donned a baby pink leotard and wrap cardigan at four years old. I remember feeling miffed at having to wear a green sparkly dress instead of a pink one during the end-of-year show. But it was neither the aesthetic requirements nor the physical demands which persuaded me to give it up. By the time I was five or six, I dreamed of competing at the Olympics as a gymnast. That dream didn’t last long. Three years later I was taking junior drama classes at Helen O’Grady’s instead, followed by horse riding lessons, singing with the school choir, and cheerleading. I was your quintessential jack-of-all-trades. Every time I swapped to a new hobby, I felt it would be the one. It turns out dating extracurricular activities can leave you feeling as insecure as traditional dating. Was there something wrong with me? Why couldn’t I find something I liked and commit to it? At fourteen, I came back to where it all began, Ballet.
