Good Luck

*Working Towards a Better World

 

The "figa" is Brazil's good luck charm. It is a clenched fist with the thumb extended between the second and third finger. A "figa" can only be given as a gift, you cannot buy one for yourself. Once you are given a "figa" it stores up all the luck you haven’t used, however you cannot break or lose it for if you do your luck supply will be lost. "Figas" are made in different sizes and out of different kinds of materials.

 

All of us have bad luck and good luck. The man who persists through the bad luck is the man who is there when the good luck comes. - Robert Collier

 

May good luck be your friend in whatever you do and may trouble be always a stranger to you. - Irish Blessing

 

Some luck lies in not getting what you thought you wanted but getting what you have, which once you have got it you may be smart enough to see is what you would have wanted had you known. - Garrison Keillor

 

Remember that sometimes not getting what you want is a wonderful stroke of luck. - Dallai Lama XIV
