Where does luck come from
Do you think you’re a lucky person Why or why not Let’s see what Professor Richard Wiseman, a psychologist (心理学家), has discovered about luck. Read on.
Ten years ago, I set out to study luck. I wanted to know why some people are always in the right place at the right time, while others always experience ill luck.
Many people volunteered (志愿) for my research. Over the years I interviewed them, watched their lives and had them take part in my experiments.
I carried out a simple experiment to discover why there were differences in their ability (能力) to spot opportunities. I gave both lucky and unlucky people a newspaper and asked them to look through it and tell me how many photographs were inside.
I had secretly placed a large message halfway through the newspaper saying, “Tell the researcher you have seen this and win $50.”
This message took up half of the page and was more than two inches (英尺) high. It was staring everyone straight in the face, but unlucky people tended to miss it and lucky people tended to spot it.
Unlucky people are just more nervous than lucky people. They are busy looking only for what they need and this stops them from noticing the unexpected. As a result, they miss out on opportunities.
Lucky people tend to be more relaxed and open. They can see everything that is in front of them, rather than just what they are looking for.
My research shows that lucky people live by several principles (原则). Here are some of these principles:
* Listen to your gut instincts (直觉) – they are often right.
* Be open to new experiences and break your normal thought patterns (模式).
* Spend a few moments each day remembering things that went well.
* See yourself being lucky before an important meeting or phone call.

My Unlucky Day
I will always remember the date—March 12. This is the unluckiest day of my life.
On that night before March 12, there was a football match on TV, so I went to bed very late. When I woke up the next morning, it was already 7:50. I thought I must be late for school. I got up quickly and did not have breakfast. By the time I rushed to the bus stop, the last school bus had already left. So I had to run to school. Before I got to school, the teacher had started teaching. I felt so worried. Fortunately, my teacher allowed me to get into the classroom. When I sat down, I found I had left my textbook at home. Finally, it was time for lunch. But when I got to the restaurant, I realized I did not have money with me, so I had to borrow some money from my friend.
What an unlucky day! From then on, I have been more careful and organized.
