Title: Lucky or Unlucky? It’s Your Choice
Some people always say they are unlucky. They miss buses, lose things, or forget meetings. But scientists say it’s not only about luck—it’s about how we see and react to things.
In one study, people were asked to find money on the street. Lucky people noticed the money and picked it up. Unlucky people walked past it because they were focused on something else. The lucky people were more relaxed and open.
So maybe luck is not magic—it’s mindset. If you think you’re lucky, you will see more opportunities.
