Do you think you’re a lucky person? Why or why not?
Ten years ago, I began my research to study luck. I wanted to know 1 some people are always in the right place at the right time, while others always experience bad luck. Many people volunteered for my research. Over the years, I interviewed them, watched their lives and asked them to take part in my experiments(实验).
I did a simple experiment to see the differences in their ability to notice opportunities(机会). I gave both lucky and unlucky people a newspaper and asked them to look through it and tell me how many photos were inside. Before the experiment, I had put a 2 in the middle of the newspaper. It said: “ 3 you see this, tell the researcher and you can get $50.”
This message covered half of the page, but unlucky people seemed to 4 it and lucky people seemed to notice it.
Unlucky people are just more nervous 5 lucky people. They are busy looking 6 only what they need and this stops them from noticing the unexpected. As a result, they miss out on opportunities. At the same time, lucky people seem to be more relaxed and open. 7 can see everything that is in front of them instead of just what they need.
My research shows that 8 people live by several rules, and here are some of them:
★Listen to your gut instincts (直觉) —they are often right.
★Be open to new experiences and change the old way of thinking.
★Spend a few moments each day remembering things that went well.
★Consider yourself lucky before an important meeting or phone call.
