One night, on my way home, I was standing at the bus stop, waiting.. Then something magical happened.

Some bird dropped dirt on me.

...

I stared at it for a few seconds before it dawned on me that the white stuff on my arm is actually waste matter; i wiped it off with some paper. Then I remembered, it was supposed to be a sign of good luck! It cheered me up a little, and the first idea that popped into my mind was "Wow, maybe I'd get a free ride home!" Suddenly I felt a rush of positivity and began to notice all the good things that happened.

I don't think people should entirely believe on luck or superstition though. However, it does have some good effects sometimes. Maybe luck gives us hope; teaches us that while we may not get a 300 million peso jackpot at the lottery, we're lucky to have the things we have and maybe a bit more.

Sure enough I did get a free ride home that night, though in an unexpected manner. hehe
