Okay, I've always wondered what would be most useful in life? I personally would think it would be Wisdom, at least my perception of Wisdom (which is Experience)

A little luck goes a long way.  |

Intelligence will lead to wisdom given enough time, and with those two, you will rarely need to rely on good luck.

Luck. of coarse. No matter how wise you are or how intelligent you are, every decision you make is partially based on chance.
Now if your intelligent and wise you can make the decisions where chance will most probably swing in your favor.
But if your just plain lucky, then you have nothing to fear from Chance... depending on how lucky you are.

Luck runs out. It's not quantifiable, and is passive. Luck can't be applied, whereas the others can.

It's a figure of speech. By that, I mean that it comes and goes. It's not something that can build up or diminish. It's a very abstract notion.

It's a very abstract notion. so is intelligence and wisdom. you could be the smartest person in the world but that won't help you when you go to your car, reach into your pocket and find your key gone and for the life of you you can't remember where you put it. Sure you know the lifecycle of a star and the words to every Sunny and Cher song ever made but you don't know where your key is. is intelligence measured by the quality of the things you know or the quantity? is there a difference? the same with wisdom. is wisdom measured in inches? or grams? |

Intelligence can be measured by either one, quality or quantity. It can apply to common life situations, work, or even sports.
Wisdom was defined here as experience, which can be accounted for.
A lucky person has nothing within themself to hold on to. They have nothing to call upon. One can be lucky one minute and unlucky the next. Of course, if we're talking about some alternate, pocket universe in which luck is a constant, and you can tell how much you have lining your wallet...then luck would be more useful.

In the end the question is which abstract word do you like to use more when your trying to impress girls into thinking your deep. i prefer Luck because it's easier to spell and it makes you seem mysterious.

Haha...well played sir...what's with all the "Lord of Shadows" stuff around here? Its a naruto esque self appointed title of those who think they can be good guy and bad guy at the same time. the fence sitters, the ones who are too cowardly to pick a side. the ones who want the best of both worlds with none of the consequences. although i'm sure they can give you a much less negative reason for the title. |

Funny you should mention fence sitters when they almost never sit ont he fence and they have saved the galaxies ass mutliple times. And that title came out before Naruto was even a show or a manga. It was used by me waaaaaay back on Gamefaqs, and has become part of the Lore of this site. If you want any further information you'd contact me if you want specifics or Mik if you want sarcastic generalizations of which sometimes are inaccurate. Besides neither side likes the so called "Fence sitters" and that's a consequence in itself. Not that you'll ever need help, mik. I do agree with mik about Luck however. While it may come and go, i'd have to assume by the nature of this topic is that if you had to pick between them which would you? And if you did pick it you would get that particular item a lot more. So either you'd be more experenced throughout your life, or you'd have more intelligence or you'd be really lucky throughout your life. Luck would almost be a constant thing if we could indeed choose like this topic. Unfortunately we can't. XD For those who picked Wisdom and Intelligence I hope you pray to lady luck.  We wouldn't want you to develope amnesia or any other mind altering illness which would hinder your gift..... lol |

lol that's funny Z. A "mind altering illness" that is really funny. I've always seen the three as being able to accomplish the same things only in different ways if that makes sense.
Like me I've always been called a vary smart person maybe a little lazy but probably smarter then my other three brothers, And that i have an "Old soul" as my mom says whatever i guess it means i"m wise. Now my younger brother is one of the most lucky people i know, And if i, being smarter and wiser then he is, i"m able to do this that and that, Then he did it. It would be done just as well...if not better all because of him and his damn luckiness, That's why he almost always wins at poker everyweek.
What i"m trying to say is that they all can finish the same tasks only differently...know what i mean?
