For all of life is like that race, With ups and downs and all. And all you have to do to win, Is rise each time you fall
Essayist Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, There is always a reason for good or bad fortune good luck is another name for tenacity of purpose.
For working folks, if having enough money to support their families is regarded as good fortune, then not having enough is bad fortune.
In 1993, fortune, that fickle femme fatale, ignored my two decades of working to build a career and support a family, and left me bankrupt. I fell into bad fortune no job, and no way to support those depending on me.
