The Game of Luck →
Richard Wiseman’s scientific proof that you make your own breaks when it comes to the game of luck. The difference between lucky and unlucky people:Unlucky people miss chance opportunities because they’re too busy looking for something else. Lucky people see what is there rather than just what they’re looking for. More importantly, “lucky” people tend to see themselves as lucky, whether they are or not:
I asked my subjects to imagine being in a bank. Suddenly, an armed robber enters and fires a shot that hits them in the arms. Unlucky people tended to say this would be their bad luck to be in the bank during the robbery. Lucky people said it could have been worse: “You could have been shot in the head.” No matter what happens, it could always be worse.
