Many people had their own way to get their luck. Which part marked as “luck” and “unluck” is negotiable point. When someone know he got a part of luck, some people said that is the worst a part of his life. Luck is the one of unpredictable gift. Sometimes we have to ask, have to work more harder, have to pray more serious, have to think out of the box, have to thank the God that you were strong enough to wait until you got something of what you ask to, and then they usually said “I’m so lucky”.
Is it “the luck” you described?
So, what the different of “the luck” and “the result” ?
I’ll make it clear. The result is something done after you created it and the luck is something comes for you like a gift. It’s hard to described what the luck it is. It will appear in many ways. You don’t even know, the luck comes to your way until you realized and it was happen.
People had their own ways to invite the luck to come. Folklore told us about luck. Not only telling us, but how to get a luck. Traditional people believe it. Many myth in these century maintained by the society. For example is “Clover”.
Clover is species of plant. Irish known as Shamrock. Shamrock is traditional Irish symbol, which according to legend was coined by Saint Patrick for the Holy Trinity, is commonly associated with clover.
Clover usually have three leaflets, instead four leaflet but it’s occasionally. Four leaf clover is uncommon variation.
“According to legend, each leaf represents something: the first is for faith, the second is for hope, the third is for love, and the fourth is for luck.” — Letter entitled “Four-Leaved Clovers”, St. Nicholas (Scribner’s Illustrated Magazine for Girls and Boys), Volume 4 (November 1876- November 1877) Source : Wikipedia
Nowadays, many people believe four leave clover have a magic in it. Clover become popular. Seems more holy than the bible. Maybe it’s a part of the art. Four leave clover have an interesting story behind. Especially Ireland used four clover as the identity of the nation. You should see the one of Ireland aviation services, Aer lingus. They use “Shamrock — Clover” as their logo.
In fact, you can see the clover everywhere, include Indonesia. You should go to “Jembatan Semanggi” and fly above the bridge. Trust me, you will see a giant four leaves clover painted in Jakarta.
Clover poisoning many people. They draw four leaves clover to get luck. It painted in everywhere moreover. For Indonesian like me, Clover it’s only leaf, even the leaves have four leaflet. We all known clover as Daun Semanggi (maybe that’s the reason why flyover in Gatot Subroto street given name Jembatan Semanggi). Myth of lucky clover not worked here. I found clover for the first time when I’m playing games. The character should drink the liquid of the clover leaves and find the man named “Clover”, then the character will win the prices and get happy all day long. How clover make us dizzy :p
Is it luck ? or is it the result ?
Let me think the decision of it. If you try your best for everything, luck may come to your way. Luck is a gift to the person who need and ask. Luck is something not designed, but you can easily feel it. Something undescribed but you might think it is the best for you and your life.
And the problem is how to get luck?
Like I said before, we have to ask to God, have to work more harder, have to pray more serious, have to think out of the box, have to thank the God that you’re strong enough and then .. wait
Luck come to those who wait.
