Resumo de The Luck Factor (changing Your Luck,change Your Life:the Four Essential Principles)

There are people who are generally in a good frame of mind, having successful career, happy family & a meaningful life, whereas there are many others, who are not having such a position. Some persons get successes automatically, without much efforts, while some others slog on without success. Those people who have good success in personal & professional life, do not themselves know its reasons. There appears to be some thing, which puts such persons, in the right position at the right time. We may call it destiny, fate, luck or whatever else, but such a factor appears to be there. Is it possible to change it in our favour? In nine Chapters contained in three sections of this book, the author has discussed various aspects of this topic, along with many anecdotes. A scientific study has been carried out, to find out the reasons as to how & why, these so called lucky persons, could get such successes, & to obtain some information & ideas, which others could follow to become luckier. After three years of study, interviews, questionnaires & experiments with about four hundred lucky & unlucky persons, the results indicate that, the so called lucky persons are really not born lucky. They have been able to obtain good results in their life, due to four basic principles, & if the unlucky persons utilize them, the amount of good luck in their life can substantially increase. Luck is called, a state of mind, or a way of thinking. After discussing the four principles, some techniques & exercises are described, which can be learnt & utilized, so that we can create more luck in our lives. In this way, unlucky & also lucky persons, can further improve their luck.
As a result of his research the author has concluded in section two that, there are four main principles for good luck, viz. creating, noticing & acting upon the chance opportunities in our lives, so as to maximize them; making decisions using our intuition & gut feelings for success; expecting from the future as helpful; & transforming bad luck into good luck. In addition, there are twelve sub-principles. Section three discusses as to how, we can create luckier lives. Initially we have to fill in our details in the luck journal containing questionnaires & exercises, & then luck profile, luck questionnaire & life satisfaction questionnaire are to be filled in. Then there is the concept of a luck school, wherein we have to go through five stages, viz. luck declaration; creating our luck profile; incorporating the techniques into our life; making our luck journal;& the final thoughts, viz. we should take things one step at a time & we should develop our ways of thinking for making our life happier. In this manner, the people can get luckier & more satisfied. We have to take a decision to use the above techniques, for our improvement. Before taking a negative decision, it is advisable to just imagine the effect of better luck in our professional & personal life. If we have a genuine desire & willingness, we can improve our future ourselves. We must have a belief that we can change our luck for the better. Finally, it is up to us. What are we thinking?
