Lucky Study
Professor Richard Wiseman conducted an experiment to find out why some people are consistently lucky whereas others are not. He identifies certain characteristics of lucky people and provides the following 4 point plan to increase your own luck:
Listen to your gut instincts - they are normally right

Be open to new experiences and breaking your normal routine

Spend a few moments each day remembering things that went well

Visualize yourself being lucky before an important meeting or telephone call. Luckis very often a self-fulfilling prophecy.
