Luck is one of the most valuable things in our life. Everybody wants to be lucky but we cannot become lucky just by keeping our name lucky. Luck is like having a special power that only a few of us have. If you also want to have this special power then stay with me I will tell you how to get it.
Richard Wiseman experimented, in which he divided people into two groups. People who were seeing themselves as lucky were in the first group and on another side people who were thinking about them as unlucky were in the second group.
Richard gave both the group same task to count the no of photos present in the newspaper. People who were thinking of themselves as unlucky completed the task in an average time of two minutes but the lucky people group completed this task within few seconds.
How did this happen? This happened because on the second page of the newspaper it was written that "stop counting, there are total 43 photos in this paper and if you show this line to me then I will give you extra reward of 250 dollars" but unluckily people in the second group didn't see that.
How much lucky you are depending on how you see the opportunities in your surrounding. To increase this opportunity chances (indirectly luck) I will share with you few valuable points that will surely make you a lucky person.
Five steps to become lucky person
Prepare yourself to be lucky
There is a huge difference between luck and chance. Winning a lottery is not luck it's just a game of chance and probability. Real luck is formed when talent, hard work and chance all come together in a person. These three are incomplete without one of them. If you understand the situation, focus your attention and plan the right strategy then you can increase your chances of being successful.
In 2016 experts used to believe that the winning chance of the english football team in the premier league was one in five thousand which means it was next to impossible but then also the english football team performed so well that they even manage to win the premier league. Due to their victory, everyone was shocked and they start saying that it was that one in a five thousand chance but in reality they won because of their planning, practice and their hard work. To make our luck work, we need to first achieve talent, hard work and chance.
Pick the statistics you want to be
Many studies show that 33% of people in America are overweight but this doesn't mean that if you will live in America then you will also become overweight. You choose your health on your own, you can maintain your diet to stay slim. You can decide on your own which statistics part you want to be.
Sometimes we get mislead by watching t.v and social media. Statistics and odds are just numbers, the type of emotions we combine with them decides our actions. It depends on us how we use ourselves like some person can work positively with 50% chances of success and some might quit it just by thinking that there is a 50% chance of failure. Many times chances of getting success are less but then also we should try and instead of giving attention to failure part we should focus on success.
Don't always follow the path of others.
Maximum people make a mistake that whenever they see others being lucky in any field they start to copy their every action. Opportunities and luck always keep moving. Hence, instead of following the path which crowd follows, we should make our different path.
If you will think that I am unlucky, I have no talent then you will achieve nothing in your life. Always try new things, make a new path to achieve something. Trying new things will not make you happy every time sometimes it may also result in a bad decision but then also you should not lose hope. Always remember one thing that whenever something bad happens then it means something good is going to happen.
The power of persistence and passion
Every successful people have one thing common in them and that is they were passionate about their work. Sometimes changes maybe not be in your favour but if you will continue to try then your chances of getting success will increase. Many famous writers like j.k. Rowling faced dozens of rejections from the publishers but she didn't lose her hope and now her book "Harry Potter" had been sold more than 450 million copies. This all happened because of staying and passion towards work.
The pygmalion effect
Scientists Rosenthal and Jacob discovered this pygmalion effect. This effect shows that when you expect something high from anyone whether it be from ourselves then their performance also increases. Various similar experiments have been done in past from which it is proved that higher expectations produce better results and better results set a higher expectation for the next time.
If we believe that we are lucky then we will feel more optimistic and motivated. To become lucky in our life we should always try to think positive and start to believe that we are lucky guys. Luck does not depend on external factors as sometimes the rich feel that he is unlucky and the poor feels that he is lucky. Believe that you are lucky and you will become lucky.
These were the five techniques that will help to become a lucky guy.
