Your Luck

   If you consider yourself to be an unlucky person, think on this, and discover just how lucky you really are:  

  It is estimated that - worldwide - there are 100 million couples, engaging in sexual intercourse, each day.   Of these 910,000 will result in conception.   Nine months later, as a direct result, there will be 400,000 live births.   The odds therefore appear to be 1 in 250 but hang on, that is not the full story.

 Each conception relies on just one sperm surviving to fertilise an egg.   Each ejaculation produces, on average, 50 million sperm; the odds of you existing at all are therefore 1/250 x 50,000,000 or 1 in 12,500,000,000.   In other words you would be 500 times more likely to win the lottery, than to be born, is that lucky?

 In my experience you make your own luck; be positive and it will always be good.
