Invisible Roulette Player - The Reasons Behind Success

October 29, 2009

Most of us want to be successful in life and strive to reach a good lifestyle and financial freedom. We want to utilize our talents and become respected and valuable members of the society we live in. This is unquestionably an honorable goal and those who succeed should be given the deserved credit for their accomplishments. They have worked hard and used their talents to meet their goals in life. Good for them.

Success, however, is not only a result of individual talent and hard work. It is also an amazing strike of luck and something that partly originates from a game of chance predating our birth - a game of ultimate roulette played by an invisible player with a power to place bets on our behalf and without our approval. We all take part in this game with equally valuable chips and with an equally slim chance of winning. Just like in real roulette, everyone in the game can be a potential winner, but only the few lucky ones have their chips placed on the right number. The invisible roulette however is something extraordinary and the rules are extremely strict and unforgivable. There is only one shot on this table; all the players are forced to play; and you gamble with your future instead of money. If you are lucky enough to win, you will get a chance at good life and prosperity. If not, the reality is hard and cruel. You have lost your shot at success already before you are born, and without even wanting to play the game in the first place.

If we are lucky enough to be successful and live relatively healthy and prosperous lives, we should be extremely grateful and feel appreciative of the good life we have. Our talent may play a big role in our success, but the real chance was given to us already before we were born. We got the rare chance to be born into the right kind of circumstances where talent can be transformed into success. Billions of others however never get this chance. Billions of people, just like you and me, would have wanted our slot on the roulette wheel and would do anything to get a better chance in life and a chance to show what they have to offer to this world. But there is no chance for them. They can never show their talent in sports, arts or sciences, because the roulette wheel spun too fast or too slow for them.

It is of course clear that not all of us can become successful even in the most favorable of circumstances, but it is simply wrong that talent is not even given the slightest chance to break free, just because someone was born in a wrong place at a wrong time. We should remember that we humans are all on the same boat of life and carry similar hopes and similar dreams.
