In an experiment, a researcher instructed people who considered themselves lucky and those who considered themselves unlucky to count the number of pictures in a newspaper. On one page of the newspaper was written "Stop counting - tell the experimenter you have seen this and win $250". It was found that those who viewed themselves as lucky found this more often than those who thought they were unlucky. Did this experiment reveal that some people are luckier than others? Or does it show that their attitudes are different? This and other tests reveal that those who consider themselves to be unlucky tend to be more anxious. Those who view themselves as lucky are more relaxed and open and therefore see opportunities beyond those that they are looking for. It has been noticed that those who view themselves as lucky have more variety and change in their lives and this in turn increases the potential for chance opportunities in people's lives. So, is it possible to change one's outlook regarding luck? According to one research, the answer is yes and this researcher has created a luck school. In this luck school, people are given exercises and lectures as to how to break everyday routines and deal with life in a more positive way. The results are dramatic and people have come out feeling more positive about their lives and even more satisfied. They are also more able to identify and follow up on opportunities as they come about.
