I've always said that God gave some people lucky and others succeed, if you're like one of the people of the stories then do not need a lot of success, but instead describe you as "unlucky" because you do not worry that life has prepared great things but you should strive to achieve them, because they were born to be a successful person. Well, we go with the stories.
