The Two Farmers: Why Luck Is Earned, Not Given | Learn English | Haven Tales

Описание: Two farmers. Same village. Both worked hard.

TOM:
Worked sunrise to sunset
Hoped for good weather
Hoped for good prices
Hoped nothing would go wrong

When drought came: Crops died
When prices dropped: Lost money
When storms hit: Lost everything

Tom's conclusion: "I'm unlucky."

SAMUEL:
Worked sunrise to sunset
Built irrigation for drought
Built storage for price timing
Diversified crops for storms

When drought came: Crops survived - irrigation worked
When prices dropped: Waited - sold later for high prices
When storms hit: Some crops died but others survived

Everyone's conclusion: "Samuel is so lucky!"

But Samuel wasn't lucky. Samuel was PREPARED.

The truth: Preparation looks like luck to people who don't prepare.

60 years later:
Tom: Poor, bitter, convinced he was unlucky
Samuel: Wealthy, successful, called "lucky" by everyone

Same starting point. Same problems. Different preparation. Different outcome.

Luck is not random. Luck is earned.

🎯 Perfect for:
✨ English learners - farming metaphor story
😓 People who think they're "unlucky"
🎯 Those blaming luck for their failures
💪 Anyone who wants to "get luckier"
📈 People who call successful people "lucky"
🧠 Those ready to prepare instead of hope


💡 Key Lessons:
Luck is not random - it's preparation meeting opportunity
Samuel prepared for drought, Tom hoped for rain
Preparation looks like luck to unprepared people
Hard work without preparation equals just hard work
Samuel's three questions: What could go wrong? What don't I know? What's my backup?
You can't control if opportunities come, but you can control if you're ready
"Unlucky" usually means unprepared
Stop calling prepared people lucky, start preparing like them

Are you Tom or Samuel?
