Would you prefer to be lucky or rich? While you're thinking of an answer, here's what the great English writer D. H. Lawrence had to say about it:

"Then what is luck, mother?"
"It's what causes you to have money. If you are lucky, you have money. That's why it's better to be born lucky than rich. If you're rich, you may lose your money. But if you're lucky, you will always get more money."

"It's better to be born lucky than rich" is what we call a proverb. Because all proverbs are based on wisdom that has been acquired through generations of experience, they contain a lot of truth. So, lucky or rich: which would you rather be? Maybe this video clip of the world's luckiest man will help you make up your mind.
