MONEY MATTERS

For centuries, people have recognised the power of luck and have done whatever they could to try seizing it. We see that some people are consistently lucky and others aren’t. Lucky people, get that way via some basic principles-seizing chance opportunities; creating self-fulfilling prophecies through positive expectations; and adopting a resilient attitude that turns bad luck around.

 Lucky people regularly have chance opportunities, while unlucky people don’t. Unlucky people miss chance opportunities because they are too busy looking for something else. Lucky people see what is there rather than just what they are looking for. Before making important decisions many lucky people try hard to add variety to their lives.

Just imagine living in the centre of an apple orchard. Each day you must collect a basket of apples. At first, it won’t matter where you look. The entire orchard will have apples. Gradually, it becomes harder to find apples in places you have visited before. If you go to new parts of the orchard each time, the odds of finding apples will increase dramatically. It is exactly the same with luck.
