By Effort Or By Chance?

in #hive-178437yesterday

Hola miembros de la comunidad!
You can wipe off the confusion from your face, I was just trying to test my Spanish...ha-ha. "Hello community members" is what that translates. So, hello community members.

It's so great to have you have on my blog again. I'm glad to have you come around and feast from my content...ha-ha. It's a great pleasure for me. And today, I bring a discourse that I hope will be interesting and engaging. Alright friends, let's get into it.

By effort or by chance! Huh, it was a dilemma - if I may say - that I was caught up with by the advent of the topic in question in my head. While seated outside of my room and reminiscing on what to bring up to the community next, the topic suddenly fell as if some object pulled down by the force of gravity - I guess Newton's law of gravity works in this scenario too...ha-ha.

Inspired by the point, I decided to ponder and then write on it. So, the discourse, "by effort or by chance" is one that presented me with two realities to feed my thoughts and maybe expound my logic. Inspired by it, I got caught up thinking,

"Are results basically end products of efforts and labour (“by effort” perspective) or can be products of unprecedented luck and chances (“by chance" perspective), or maybe the two are mutually inclusive - both perspectives apply to make up the perceived results?

This wasn't a situation where a tossing of the coin would solve the matter at hand - one where whatever side of the coin that comes up serves the answer, depending on which the choices were placed. No, it became one of intuition and good reasoning. Through careful consideration and reasoning, there were some considerations about the subject matter.

"Nothing happens by chance". A statement I've become used to hearing and surely it's a popular one even to you I guess. The statement suggests that every result produced through something is not void of a particular type of effort - that one can say leaves it just up to chance or luck - but there was a labour or activity that happened in the background, hence the result shown forth. I think the notion agrees with the fact that results should be byproducts of efforts basically. Well, I'm still thinking...

But if nothing happens by chance, then why do we get some results by luck...or chance? I could guess this question in someone's mind. Well, I too I'm still thinking. And what of that thing I was just so fortunate to become a partaker or a beneficiary of also, not by any of my efforts? Another question I guess, right? The questions keep welling up and so it's the dilemma over the matter. I guess these questions...and more you might have thought of in line with the subject only suggests that the perspective of "by chance" may prove to stand valid in its own way.

Well, we have it; by effort or by chance or a mutually inclusive situation here? I'll happily and gladly like to hear your views on this subject in view. I trust that this will lead to some fruitful thinking.

Thank you for stopping by!

Thank you sir, and I appreciate you for reading through.

I strongly believe in effort, but I can't deny the fact that luck can be on ones side sometimes. This is a wonderful piece bro. Great job 👍

Thank you!

Just like you said and I agree with you, we have results birthed from the zone of effort and results that are as a result of luck or by chance. This is actually deep specially for results we get by chance. I think it's something beyond the physical because how do we explain luck? If luck is by chance then how comes about the chance to get something effortlessly..
Well, that is some how far beyond my study..:)

Absolutely. That has left me thinking also and it just keeps me thinking more and more.

Brain storming!
This is an amazing article!
It's not easy writing but I appreciate when I see a good one.
That was superb!
Keep it going....

Thank you very much @megamo
Indeed it was a brainstorm to me.
I really appreciate your comment.

I agree with the fact that some result happens by chances but the chances are very slim.
I am yet to see a mother who does not have sexual intercourse with a man and just gave birth by chance. Therefore I stand to say that 95% of the result we had was as a result of the effort put in place to ensure the desired results.
That's why Newton in his own wisdom states that a body will continue to remain in a constant state of rest until an external force is acted upon🤗.

Hahahahah you're taking us somewhere ma'am, I'm coming back for this.let me go and gather facts. It seems like I am against the motion 🤣😅 I am learning ooo

Toh, this man wants to gather facts and come back. I'll love to see your response sir.

Bro I really wants my thinking to be fruitful, so I am pleading for time to think because this piece of yours requires deep meditation and critical thinking.

But I truly admire your writing skills bro I need to confess that🧐 😅😀

Thinking.................🖊️

Alright, take your time bro. I'll be here to read your input bro. I trust it will be wonderful.

Thank you so much bro, I'm really overwhelmed to hear that. This will encourage me to do more 🙏🏾😁

Wow, such wonderful @katezauka
I like the analysis you bring up to back your point. Newton's law of motion; nice reminder 😁
Thanks for your input.

Thanks for your input.

You're always welcome

A great piece we have here, while I don't believe in luck I feel for everything gotten, little efforts are been applied, might not be much but there just has to be a tiny bit of an effort somewhere.

Yeah, I can relate and understand that. I believe this resonates more with the fact that "nothing happens by chance".
