Distinguishing privilege from good luck and achievement

Quoted, Theories /

In life, there are three reasons why things go well for us: privilege, random good fortune, and/or that we worked to make something happen. I recently encountered a really good example of all three at work when my DSL internet connection went down for two days. I know several people who have no internet connection at home because they can’t afford it. Some don’t even have a computer, and rely entirely on public computers for internet access. I had a hell of a time coping with two days offline, because I’m able to afford DSL and a large chunk of my life revolves around the internet.

i can be anywhere #depending on where you are;

i can also be anyone #depending  on who you are;

i can be anything #depending on what you are;

i can talk anything #depending on how you hear;

i can speak anything #depending on what you listen;

i can be implicit #depending on your perspective;

but i am — @McKabue

“Perhaps, if you weren’t so busy regarding my shortcomings, you’d find that I do possess redeeming qualities, discreet as they may be.  I notice when the sky is blue.  I smile down at children.  I laugh at any innocent attempt at humor.  I quietly carry the burdens of others as though they were my own.  And I say ‘I’m sorry’ when you don’t.  I am not without fault, but I am not without goodness either…” – Richelle E. Goodrich

“_everything i desired in life, i always get it…probably not so quick, but in the end, it happens”

That’s my story, only a single line! As much as i would wish to have a longer story, i just can’t. I would wish a story to motivate, or inspire someone, a story worth listening to, a story that…anyway, i guess God loves me so much that He can’t let me narrate a horror story, or a sad story, or a stupid story…no matter how interesting it would sound, so i say…thank you God
