The Luckiest Man Alive

It has to me! Just look at the the photo I even won bingo half pissed.

I got to ski for every day three years in a row.

And I have got to travel to over 30 different countries. This old snap was a ferry ride out to Tioman Island of the East Coast of Malaysia.

Seriously though, I don't really think it there has been that much luck, involved. Maybe the small bingo win and being born into middle class stable family in a country with it's fair share of resources has helped.

But basically the majority of everything I have got to experience has come from good old bloody hard work. Ever since I was old enough I worked two jobs. Different jobs after school on different days. Even when I started my electrical apprenticeship I kept one of the evening part time jobs as long as I could.

Then as a Young tradesman I worked as many hours as possible. Even when I started travelling I worked more hours than anybody else in the ski resort.

When all my mates and friends were in the pub and spending everything everything they earned, I was madly saving trying to scrap enough together for a deposit on the cheapest bit of real estate I could find.

It took a while to scrap a deposit and a bit of a buffer. But I got the cheap unit and rented it out.

My parents were proud, I was able to get my foot in the door with some real estate even though my mates thought I was crazy getting into a big loan.

Eventually rents and real estate prices went up and it set myself up for the next stage of my life.

Yeah I don't believe in luck much. Past the life you've been born into I suppose but that's more random chance. We're lucky I suppose to have been born in Australia and into a life of reasonable privilege but most of what we have is because we've worked for it. Perhaps it's more we are GRATEFUL for say, travelling and so on, rather than feeling lucky?

Congratulations @new.things! You received a personal badge!
