I think that the quote means that luck will change. I believe that this valid to me. Io have had good times and even bad and my luck always seems to change an get better.For instance, something bad might happen and things will almost 100% of the time gett better. I myself like to believe that everything happens for a reason and that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Some people think that only bad things happen to them but it's not true. Bad things happen to all of us at some point in our life. We can go from top of the list to the bottom in minuteand vice versa. So like i said i think this quote is VERY valid and that is has alot of meaning behind it.

I, Jasmine Ortiz is here to explain my thoughts about what this quote means.To me this quote means your luck will always change.Sometimes you will have good luck and sometimes you just may have bad luck. Having bad luck is the worste. Everything but what you want happens. Also someone having good luck might know that what ever the situation is he or she is not gonna have it there way, but then all of a sudden it does happen how they wanted and they got lucky. Unfortunatly i just happen to be one of them people who has bad luck all the time. I barely get what i want and when i do its still something wrong but its just little. Bad or good luck all determens on who you are and what type of person you are.

"The only sure thing about luck is that it will change." This quote means to me that you can always have luck but at the same time it could change in a better way or a bad way depending on how lucky you get. I think this quote is vaild in many different ways , like you could be the richest person in the world by luck , because youn had an easy life but once you make the wrong decision then thats how your luck can change in a bad way. So thats why you should always try your best and make the right dcision.

I think that the quote from Wilson has some alot of meaning to it. The quote means that no matter how lucky or great your day is going, someday , it will change to be its worst. The days where you stand on top of the world without a care in the world, may later be the other day you fall from the top of it. This quote is valid because it has alot of proof that we all have been through in our lives. From better to worse, it always happens to even the best of people. People who have a good day will usually somehow have a bad/terrible thing happen because their luck was used up on that good day. If you think you can have a good day and keep it rolling, your always wrong no matter what, it will always happen to you, your friends, family, even the best and worst people of the world.

I think the quote means that luck really isn't real, and that pretty much anything could happen. I think this quote is valid, because luck isn't what people think it is. Luck is pretty much chance, and everything happens by chance.The myths of "luck" have been proven wrong many times by myself. There is no one who can just predict the outcome of something by this so-called, "luck." Everything in the world just happpens, and there is no hidden force called luck. If something heavy drops on your head after walking under a ladder, the chances are, you shouldn't of been walking around a construction site. Other than that, my life was been full of joy by petting black cat, and breaking the other rules of "luck." The only luck I believe in, is the unpredictable kind called chance. Like I said before, everything happens by chance.

I , Nathaniel Weisser, think that the quote is that that luck changes over the the cofese of your life. Luck is your viory when you win a game. Luck is when you get an A on a popquiz without studieying that class that bad in. Finish a project at the last mintet and get an A on it. luck is geting a raise when working that you don't do any work. luck is something that you cannot do when you even tried.

The quote "the only sure thing about luck is that it will change" means that if you have luck weather its bad or good luck it would make a change in your life. If you have good luck possibly only good things would happen to you for example maybe you have no money but you want to buy your kids something for christmas & you walk down the street and find 1thousand dollars. Now things have changed because your no longer broke you have money & can buy your kids things. But if you have bad luck things would also change you may be rich and all of a sudden go poor from taxes. Both things make a change in your life somehow.This is why luck is not always good or bad but it would always make a change somehow wil efffect your life.

This quote “The only sure thing about luck is that it will change” – Wilson Minzermean can mean alot. This quote means to me that if you get luck it can change in a matter of time. some people were born lucky but that can change. People can have everything in the world one day and the next day they can wake up with nothing. its good to have luck sometimes but dont take advantage of it. People believe that they have lucky shirts , socks things like that but soon as there lucky clothing or thing diappears thats when they think they luck goes away. I think this quote is valid because i seen this tv show , "Drake & Josh" and josh had this lucky shirt. He was getting A's on his test , his friend gave him an xbox and everything when he wore that shirt,but one day him and his brother was fighting over it one day and it ripped & his luck just went away. In conclusion this quote “The only sure thing about luck is that it will change.”– Wilson Minzer is valid to me because luck can change at any time.

the meens that even though you are haveing good or bad luck.That luck will change eventually to either help or hurt you.This quote is valid because luck does run out at some point.But you never know when it will.

Tim Salamatin said...

I find this quote to be valid. Luck is an unsure thing amoung random statistics that is either going to be alongside or against your favor. Things that seem to go by those rules, such as luck, seem to also be desrcibed as karma. Luck does constanty change, depenidng on your constant actions,either your doing good actions or bad actions. Although, it is still unpredictable so even if you do something nice, it doesnty necessarily mean that it will balance to your liking. You cannot be asured that you will benefit from your luck, even if good.

this quote doesnt say what luck is its like repeating itself because its not making sense of what its trying to say, like how does luck change when it just happends to you randomley of something good. The quote in invalid because its false like luck isnt real its more of what you did that was good and you deserved it. luck cant change it happends to you because you dererved and worked for something good to happen.

To me this quote mean that a person can't claim they lucky just because good things happen. No matter what all that luck would change. I think this quote is vaild because it's true. Just beacuse a person is having a lucky day they'll end up thinking it's luck and everyday would be the same. But it won't a person can't stay lucky no matter what. We might have a alot of luck here and there for certain things but not for everything. My example is like a person always wanting to go out and their parents always says "yes" to everything but their parents dont't no the things their kids are doing some people think thats lucky into the stay being sneaky with it and when they get caught they'll get mad and say they haveing bad luck. Or when someone think they day is soo perfect and just one little mistake changes it. To me those or unlucky things in my point of view.

matt b said...

yea i believe this quote beause it really does always change. i believe this quote is true because luck has always been on my side ever since i was a young buck.
for example: when i was walking down the street and i found a 20 dollar bill laying in the street. also for another example when i was trying to go to the williams town skate park i cracked my frame and thank god we were at my friends dads house and that he does welding for a living. also i found a puppy in a box just laying on the side of the road and my mom let me keep.

"The one sure thing about luck is that it will change." My name is Alex and I will be explaining this quote.I belive the thing this quote is trying to say is that will always change no matter what. But what if you already have good luck? Does that mean eventualy it will change to bad luck? I dnt belive this quote is one hundred percent valid. One big example I will use is the houlacaust. Were those people who were removed from thier homes lucky? Were the people who died horrible horific deaths lucky? While i will admit some people were lucky and got out alive. But not everyone is so lucky.

marissa said...

This quote means being lucky is not guarantee , you have to make your own luck. Luck isn't finding a four leaf clover it's seeing an oppurtunity and grabing by the horns.Me personal i dont believe in luck, if something is ment to be then there'll be more then one oppurtunity to make it hppen. That goes for "bad luck" also , "bad luck" is only the consquece of missing out on your chance.And the people that seems "lucky" are the people that see thier chances for something and grab it. I Marissa Burton believe "luck is what you make it.

to me this quote means that luck can always change at any time. for example, if you got fired from your job you might just win the lottery that same day.it can mean alot to people that luck can be really bad sometimes but in the long run it could do some good for everybody. but to me i dont get much luck so i tend to enjoy the little things in life. it always for the better to enjoy because you eont expect something good to happen all the time. from experience i've hsd some bad luck but its been good to me with certain things and now im more careful.
