Are You A Great Life-Gambler?

Often you put in your best efforts, but results don't follow; and sometime even if you just do it, results start pouring in. I'm sure, most of you must have noticed it. In fact, I first noticed it three decades ago, while gambling with 3-cards in engineering college hostel.

So what's that?

Well, I think, we can call it 'Favorable Time,' may be 'Luck' also. Whatever we call it, but it greatly influences our performance matrix in a given time: Either way!

I don't think it's difficult to identify when is the time not really in favor, if we know how to integrate intuition with evidence: Effort vs Result curve!

The more we sharpen our intuitions to precisely sense the onset of good times - and make it a point to maximize our efforts during that period - higher would be the "Return on Investment." But we must also identify when does the favorable time start turning around, to reduce unproductive investment of genuine efforts and the resultant frustrations.

He who can correctly identify these multiple favorable periods through out his life-cycle and use them to the best of his capacity, proves to be a great Life Gambler!
