got off on the wrong foot

[COB]

Funny thing about luck - I played a lot of squash when I was younger I remember after one game the guy I played told me I was lucky to have won the game and beat him; I replied that funnily enough the more I trained and harder I worked, the 'luckier' I became.

If you work hard, earn a good wage etc - enough to buy and run a nice car then good luck to you! Just keep safe and sensible - doesn't mean you can't have any fun - and make sure you don't prove some people right.
