"Hot Shot" (神枪手)
// BLURB //
It was an almost instant love connection. I saw her sitting at the far end of the bar. Alone. Sipping a Tsingtao. Her eyes scanning the crowd for a familiar face maybe. Or perhaps she was just bored. I was also by myself. Sitting on the opposite end of the bar. Whiskey sour in hand. I was smitten! Bewitched even! But I simply couldn’t make a move! “Luck” is defined as: success or failure apparently brought by chance rather than through one’s own actions.” Apparently? I'd say most people believe good (or bad) luck is completely out of their control. It just happens! The chengyu says, shí lái yùn zhuǎn (时来运转) meaning, “The time comes, fortune turns.” The wheel of life keeps turning, and one day your fortune will change. No effort required! However, French chemist Louis Pasteur famously said, “Fortune favors the prepared mind”. He believed your success rate would improve depending on personal micro-behaviors. Kind of like Newton’s Third Law: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. For luck to bless my day I must first make a choice. It was a shot in the dark, but I had to take it.
