Try, believing luck

With out sail you can reach.

With sail you perhaps fail.

You may swim and fail.

You may float and reach.

Sometimes efforts fail.

Sometimes fortune strikes.

An effect is from bundles of causes.

Your effort is an added cause.

When other forces are enough,

Without your effort, you succeed.

When other forces are far short,

With your effort, you fail.

So to rely on fate is futile.

Equally to rely on oneself.
