Luck and Fate
Luck-An unknown and unpredictable phenomenon that results in favourable or unfavourable outcome..Fate-An event (or course of events ) that inevitably happens in future.These are the definitions according to the actual English literature.I always wonder whether these two are related or linked to each other.For eg. if a person has a back in exam , some say "it's bad luck" but some reply, "it's fate" !!! Which is true among these.According to the definitions,luck is unpredictable and so is fate..who knows our fate or luck?There can only be predictions which can be true or false.Fate is just continuous events that keep happening.Why do people use different terms then ? If fate is events that inevitably happens , then luck should be within that circle of events among which some events should be good and some bad..Hence the term luck based on these !!! So, both the above two sentences are true and looks same to me.Luck (good or bad) is just a temporary occurance in every living being and fate is that thing which must and should occur along with the so called term "luck"..I can just put across finally that both are somewhere close to "fact".Be it luck or fate ,when happens, becomes a fact.!!

ya.... Hard to find difference b/w those... i think "fate" is standard word which gives the same meaning as that of "luck"... Even though both are same, we use word luck more often than fate... Fate is a chain of luck... We can call it as a average of luck... sometime luck results as good one n sometimes not. But fate is fixed and its a rigid quantity...
