he's found that lucky people have a completely different approach to the world. |
| 343 |
the results of his work revealed that people aren't born lucky. |
| 344 |
instead, fortunate people behave in a way that creates good luck in their lives. |
| 345 |
they notice opportunities that happen by chance more often than unlucky people. |
| 346 |
they also meet more new people and have more new experiences. |
| 347 |
they tend to make good decisions by listening to their intuition. |
| 348 |
they're optimistic and are certain that the future is going to be full of good luck. |
| 349 |
this positive attitude often makes good things happen. |
| 350 |
they're also good at coping with bad luck and often cheer themselves up by imagining things could be worse than they are. |
| 351 |
dr wiseman tested his ideas by starting a luck school, where he hoped that unlucky people could learn to be lucky. |
| 352 |
400 volunteers spent a month doing exercises to help them think and act like a lucky person. |
| 353 |
these exercises helped the volunteers spot opportunities that happen accidentally, trust their intuition more. |
| 354 |
they feel sure they're going to be lucky and become better at dealing with bad luck. |
| 355 |
the results were dramatic and showed that 80% of the volunteers were now happier and more content with their lives - and most important of all, luckier. |
| 356 |
dr wiseman's ideas won't help you win the lottery, but they might help you in your day-to-day life - fingers crossed. |
| 357 |
we tend to think that successful people deserve their success. |
| 358 |
they probably studied hard at school, they worked hard in their jobs or they took a lot of risks. |
| 359 |
in fact, many successful people got a 'lucky break'. |
| 360 |
sth happened that gave them a chance to be successful. |
| 361 |
they took the opportunity and the rest, as they say, is history. |
