Good luck come by cuffing
Good luck come by cuffing.
This saying seems to date to an era when spare the rod and spoil the child was common advice to parents.
The idea being that well brought up children who have been taught firm discipline are more likely to succeed, and therefore appear "lucky" to their less fortunate peers. Learning at the school of hard knocks is a similar idea.
You cannot cuff your children today but if you want them to grow up to expect good fortune then teaching them the importance of disciplined, regular hard work will increase their chances of success.
