Chosen at random by something unknown.
Chosen at random to come across luck somewhere, perhaps find it on the street.
Chosen at random to lucky.
That, they tell us, is how they always win.

Choosing to work hard.Choosing to forge their own luck.
Choosing in their mind they will win.
They tell us determination is everything.
