Read Russell Beattie's Luck Entry Here's a link to a Russell Beattie post... I'm a Lucky Guy I can totally see this. Half the people I know just don't *pay attention* and they don't, *think ahead*. And when bad things happen to them, they just moan and prepare for the next bad thing, instead of the other way around. I think that's all there is to it. Many things are predictable, you just have to be prepared when they happen both bad and good. "Seventy percent of success in life is showing up," Woody Allen said, and I totally believe it. The other 30% is showing up at the right place. What more is there to say? I've always felt more observent than most people, and sometimes I've been rewarded for it. Other times, it's been my undoing. I'd consider discussing the wisdom of experience at this point. What effect did age have on the "luckiness" of the study's particpants? This is an excerpt of the original, please be sure to read the whole article and leave a comment. 1:52:59 PM    comments []
