"I am a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work, the more I have of it." (Thomas Jefferson)
People who Got Lucky
Did you ever witness an accident so terrifying that you were almost sure there are no survivors? What if there were survivors? How would you explain it? By blaming luck of course, like everyone does. Indeed, there are ways to have good luck, such as find opportunities in problems. We assure you this is not the case of the people bellow.
The folks were incredible lucky to live and tell the story... or have their videos uploaded on the Internet. We give you the luckiest people on Earth caught on camera. Ready... Action!
Lucky People: Man trapped under tons of steel miraculously survives
Luck People: Was lucky to remain alive and he doesn't even realize it
Luck People: Amazing how lucky seems to favor some people
Luck People: Accidents compilation and stupid people looking for IT
Luck People: This looks like a scene ripped from the "Die Hard" movie
Luck People are not always wise and here's the proof
What is their Secret?
Is it fate? Is it chance? Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Larry King once said: "Those who have succeeded at anything and don't mention luck are kidding themselves." Let's have a look at TOP 5 Secrets of the lucky people:
Lucky people don't believe in luck. That's because they don't like the idea of not being in control of their lives. Ironically, they do recall some "synchronistic" events that routinely happened in their daily lives and contributed to their success. Luck people also don't just wait around for random lucky to occur. Lesson Learned: Build your own luck! When you see an opportunity, ACT, don't just stand there.
Lucky people don't quit so often. When things are getting hard and painful, most of us will simply quit. On the other hand, the luck people believe that if they are stubborn enough, they will get lucky in the end. And it works for them... Lesson Learned: Don't quit before even having a chance to fail!
Luck favors the warrior. An old saying translated in today words: luck favors those who have prepared. You might get lucky enough for people to notice you, but luck won't help you afterwards, when you've got to prove yourself you are worthy. Let's say a big movie producer notices your performance in a play and invites you for an audition. You got lucky, right? Well, if you want to stay lucky, you better go prepared, or else. Lesson Learned: Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity. So true...
Lucky people know when to drop a losing hand. Successful poker players don't play every hand they're dealt, do they? If you watch carefully, the hands they fold far outnumber the hands they hold. Why is this? Because they know the odds, they will most likely bet on probability, not on risk, thus cutting their losses. Luck people are very similar because they learned to recognize opportunities and failures. Lesson Learned: Luck people are more likely than others to make good decisions based on intuition alone.
Lucky people are more relaxed and confident. Unlucky people are generally tenser than luck people, and this anxiety disrupts their ability to notice an opportunity. Lesson Learned: Focus on the wrong things and you will miss a lot of opportunities.
Still not convinced? Don't take our word for granted.
Try it for yourself! But remember: stay out of trouble.
