"create your own luck"

I believe in the fact that a man/woman makes their own luck with what they are handed in life.  Along with saying that I also believe in the functionalist theory and conflict theory.  I believe that you can't have a functionalist society without having some conflict because of the simple reason that you can not have a perfect society. 
People that create there own luck means people how take what they are dealt in life and make the best they can of it. Even through many challenging moments and adversity throughout their lives. So yes I believe very strongly that people create their own luck and anyone can make a bad life into a good life but vis versa, people with good lives can also turn it around with a bad decision.
