Lady luck's a knocking, can you hear her?


In his book The Luck Factor, Richard Wiseman writes about his study of four hundred exceptionally 'lucky' people. He recognices that people who consider themselves lucky have four distinguishing characteristics:
1.They maximize chance opportunities - and are good at creating, noticing and acting upon these opportunities when they arise. 2.They are good at listenin to their intuition. 3.They expect to be lucky and anticipate a positive outcome. 4.They don't allow ill fortune to control them.
Wiseman conveys the notion that lucky people, those of us who have satisfying jobs, perfect partners etc, these people actively seek out their luck and remain optimistic that they will find it. We cannot sit back hoping that  luck will find us. Students should be actively encouraged to seek out a career that invigorates them. Richard Wiseman on luck
