Learn to be lucky

In June 1980, Maureen Wilcox became one of the US lottery’s biggest losers.
She chose the winning numbers for both the Rhode Island and Massachusetts

lotteries. But unfortunately for her, the numbers she picked for The Rhode Island
lottery were the correct ones for the Massachusetts lottery, and vice versa.

We all know lucky people – they have good relationships, successful careers and are
very satisfiedwith their lives. But what makes them so lucky? Dr. Richard Wiseman
has spent ten years studying luck and has found that lucky people have a completely
different approach to the world.

The results of his work revealed that people aren’t born lucky.
Instead, fortunate people behave in a way that creates good luck in their lives.

They notice the opportunities that happen by chance more often than unlucky

people. They are also more open to meeting new people and having new
experiences.

They tend to make good decisions by listening to their intuition.

They are optimists and arecertain that the future is going to be full of good luck. This
positive attitudeoften makes good things happen.

They are also good at coping with bad luck and often cheer themselves up by
imagining things could be worse than they are.

Dr. Wiseman tested his ideas by starting a luck school, where he helped the
volunteers spot opportunities that happen accidentally, trust their intuition more,
feel surethey are going to be lucky and become better at dealing with bad luck.

Dr. Wiseman’s ideas won’t help you win the lottery, but they might help you to be
more successful in your day-to-day life.
