I'm Feeling Lucky...

blacklies

One more hectic day and what the hell I am Googling instead of getting into bed. Haha.. Luck is always underrated to hard work in every quote, every slogan. Wait a minute. This is interesting. I have just come across a cool article by Wiseman and I surly am going to share it over here.. 

Of course I am also going to underrate luck but this time it is not just the hard work that de-emphasizes it but many more and somewhat logical things in day today life that will share the luck. 

So Prof Wiseman has identified the four basic principles that lucky people use to create good fortune in their lives.

Principle One: Maximize Chance Opportunities
Lucky people are skilled at creating, noticing and acting upon chance opportunities. They do this in various ways, including networking, adopting a relaxed attitude to life and by being open to new experiences.

Principle Two: Listening to Lucky Hunches
Lucky people make effective decisions by listening to their intuition and gut feelings. In addition, they take steps to actively boost their intuitive abilities by, for example, meditating and clearing their mind of other thoughts.

Principle Three: Expect Good Fortune(This one I have successfully tried)
Lucky people are certain that the future is going to be full of good fortune. These expectations become self-fulfilling prophecies by helping lucky people persist in the face of failure, and shape their interactions with others in a positive way.

Principle Four: Turn Bad Luck to Good

Lucky people employ various psychological techniques to cope with, and often even thrive upon, the ill fortune that comes their way. For example, they spontaneously imagine how things could have been worse, do not dwell on ill fortune, and take control of the situation. 

Thats it.. Aren't they cool and somewhat logical also as compared to saying.. Shallow men believe in luck. Strong men believe in cause and effect..  Atleast for me they are.

Good night..
