You sure you call that luck?

luck [luhk]

Definition: Good fortune; advantage or success, considered as the result of chance.

So, what is luck? Lingering around us, this mysterious and strange object follows us wherever we go. Even for today, it was in my classroom...in a weird way, I would say. Today was a unusual day indeed. I ponder if it was considered lucky or unlucky? Such a day was rare to come by in my life.

For today's English lesson, my teacher was reviewing some blogs as examples for our blog assignment. Many were interesting but one was especially intriguing. It was one of my best friend's blog. His blog was greatly complimented by the teacher as he had many unique features such as interactive animations and interesting blog posts. In addition, my friend kept "complaining" about his blog getting showcased on the screen, saying that he was lucky. Unlucky? Maybe. Lucky? I have no idea.

Oh yes, as this was some of our classmates' first time having a blog, like me, my friend had an incredibly unique and special blog and was amazed by my teacher. But just as my teacher was trying to explain an interactive animation which he was not familiar with, I thus tried to explain to him. Then, surprisingly, my teacher requested me to explain in front of the whole class. Should this be considered as luck or the opposite?

This has indeed bothered and baffled me throughout my whole life. So ho do one classify a situation as a lucky one or an unlucky one? Looks like I'm going to rack my brain till it explode to finally get the answer to this problem. Oh well, lucky of unlucky, I wonder which is which....
