> If you can manufacture it, it isn't luck, period. I'm not sure I agree with the statement. It is possible that a certain outcome is attached to a certain action, but the link between the two is sufficiently hidden that the outcome seems like luck. Is it luck? It surely looks like luck, and behaves like luck. I would call it luck. But of course for some people, that link might be a little more obvious. Those are the people that can "manufacture luck." I would like to note, it's usually not a single action that generate luck, it's a set of complex actions, which is why it's hard to manufacture, and stays luck.
