Ken's Theory of Lucky
Sunday, July 5, 2009 @ 11:54 PM
As I live my life, I'm starting to realize that even for luck, there's 2 category, between Implicit and Explicit luck. I do not draw this inspiration of implicitly through economics(Implicit or Explicit cost) but rather I just came to think that this word can be associated with luck. So then by Implicit luck, I mean that
Luck: Probability that a good event will occur on you. The reverse will be bad luck
Implicit Luck: Luck that sets in your general life style, and life. This can affect your e.g. Career, Family. In short, the big picture, but often many people can't sense this kind of luck.
Explicit Luck: Luck that sets in a particular set or event, that can usually be seen or felt. Event includes usually a task. E.g. some people always wins in gambling, always catches the bus. He feels lucky
Now that the parameters are clearly defined, let's move on to what I want to talk about. I always, constantly imagined that I'm one of the unluckiest man to ever walk the Earth, be it Gambling, Gaming(HOHO. I remember hunting the highest level monster at that time(Lvl 92: Bain)in maplestory I hunt for 2 months, but I get no item. IF rare item drop, i'll be damn rich. I hunt 2 mths, imagine killing 10000 bains, no item. Other players, hunt avg 2 days, 1 rare item. I 2 months, nothing. WA PIANG I'LL BE RICH LA, if i get 1 stupid item. zzzzz. I can't find any person more unlucky than me. Amongst other thing, miss bus, and uhh. Im very unlucky. But coming to think along, I failed to realize that it's only the implicit luck of it. Is it really that important to be able to catch a bus? or win a game of cards? or find that item to feel lucky? I meant like, if i did get those items in maplestory, i'll be rich now, and I'll be training non-stop, will I still be in JC then? even if I do, will I come to a point where I be in canoeing? No I won't be. I maple 16 hours minimum a day and laugh at others whom played only 16 hours, for my average is 20 hours. Because my implicit luck made me so bad, my explicit luck gained upon me, that I quitted maplestory for good, that I can focus on studies and get to a better standing in life, in canoeing, where I matured, and now bless with good friends which I wouldn't be able to have in Poly, or a lesser JC.
Another example that I can quote(inspiration from SY). I always have felt that I'm bad, and even very unlucky in relationship. Honestly, I can't really understand what girls look for, in lesser guy, worst guy than me, and honestly, very bad guys. But you know what, I soon realize that life being attached is not what I'm looking for, and I'm glad that I didnt' waste my time like those people whom I once used to envy. And all these episodes made me realize the importances of friends, and not the false essentiality determined by the time span of a relationship. I stick well to my definition that implicit luck is on event...(reject, accept) in a relationship, explicit luck(the general welfare of life). Oh relationship is defined as the luck of a person's affinity to develop a close bonding with a person, assuming everybody looks the same and expects the same. This makes our scope of argument clearer. So if you pit 2 equally ugly person against the same girl, 1 can succeed the other can't, you know what it means.
More importantly, yesterday while I'm out on a very big project, my idea have almost set me in a motion which cannot be undone, and it leads to trouble. Luckily there's kind people whom are willing to lend me a helping hand, if not I would have forgone sleep. What i thought to be unlucky again, have turned out to be one of the most lucky event. Bless my luck, bless its implicity. I have only truly understood its existence only today. if I'm not wrong, in Physics under conservation of energy that it cannot be destroyed, only converted from one form to another, in Taoism, Ying and Yang must balance, so too is it in Luck.

Explicity and Implicity must sum up to 1.So you cant have both
Thanks for everything that I'm given. I'm sorry I failed to realize your existence sooner. But now I do, I'll cherish it.
