If something saved you on the die minute you will always want to stay around that thing, you must be thinking that it happened for a reason that the thing saved you when you needed to be saved the most.
This is the story of a friend who was never a gambler but on the brink of losing his mother he was forced by nature to risk money on gambling and he won, it's been a long time that this happened but till this day his story still amaze me.
The surprising part is I expected him to start gambling from then on because gambling saved her mother, this could be the way that everyone will think after such narrow victory, but he never gambles after that issue have passed, I did asked him why he chose to not keep gambling.
He answered with a nod and said he prayed for a miracle to happen and something inside him leads him to gamble that day, since the problem is solved he has no business to keep gambling.
I am even starting to look at him like someone who is more than what he seems like, if you know what I mean.

It’s clear that that person really got lucky, but like one of our members here asked what if he hadn’t won? Then he wouldn’t have been able to save his mother either, right? It reminds me of a story where the owner of FedEx used the last of his money to gamble. It was really a do‑or‑die situation.
Fred Smith bravely gambled his last 5,000 dollars playing blackjack, and he managed to win turning it into 27,000 dollars. He used that money to restart his business, and he eventually grew it.
So the question is: was his success because of gambling, or because he had the courage to take the risk and bet his money in a Las Vegas casino?
