The definition of

chance) varies by the philosophical, religious, mystical, or emotional context of the one interpreting it; according to the classic
Noah Webster's dictionary, luck is
"a purposeless, unpredictable and uncontrollable force that shapes events favourably or unfavourably for an individual, group or cause". Yet the author
Max Gunther defines it as "events that influence one's life and are
seemingly beyond one's control".
