Quadruple F theory!!!

Quadruple F : Fortune Favours Fools Frequently....courtesy: Srikanth Kolachalama
Actually I came across this statement from this friend of mine, who got to hear this from one of his most admired teachers in life during his coaching days, originally quoted by all time gr88 mathematician Leonhard Paul Euler(.....now I wudnt dare to pour out half knowledge about the context, when he uttered this, without confirming the facts.)
And of all the things/sayings I ve adopted till now, I ve started believing in this statement very strongly, may be bcoz thats what life has caused to me till now. Rather to put it in accordance to my earlier post , may be..... I reacted to life the way so as to cause it to favour me, even if I continued being a fool.
But , stop!!!.....I guess I ve already declared myself as a fool...rt??
Now owing to the natural tendency of a normal homosapien, I shud start defending my pride being a fool also..n so will I ......
And in this process of thinking of defending myself as a fool.....I recall, and infact would like to exploit the statement used very often by famous,co-founder, Chairman and CEO of Apple Inc Steve Jobs " Stay foolish, Stay hungry".
(Refer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D1R-jKKp3NA )
Ahhaah!!!!........Steve Jobs.....had it been a one to to one conversation , I wudnt ve proceeded further on this discussion without spending some decent time on that as well..but alas!!....I m bloggin ..rt?/..I will try to keep myself confined to the basic Quadruple F theory as per now.
After all this brainstorming process of claiming, defending or may be imposing the theory, I would lik to say
"Sometimes, a saying is of a great comfort" is enough a reason to believe and associate oneself with this theory. And may be , it has stood the test of time, at least for me.

Life=F(x), where x is attitude n F(x ) is an odd function

The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. Few people play with emotions and fool people around them, never regret in life for them who leave you in illusions. It is more important than the past relations, the education, the money, than circumstances, than failure, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company. The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past... we cannot change the fact that "people" will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happened to me and 90% of how I react to it. And so it is with you... we are in charge of our Attitudes. That is what I am now......
