View submission: Is it just me who feels “jinxed” ?
One of my favorite experiments conducted was a research on luck. Basically a bunch of people were asked if they considered themselves lucky or not before being told to have a seat and wait for the experiment to begin. While they waited they were given a newspaper to read while waiting. In the newspaper there was an ad that basically was like twll the instructor you saw this and earn money.
Turns out a majority of the people that considered themselves lucky did whatever was asked to win the reward while many that saw themselves as unlucky either missed the ad or didn't believe it so they never did the action.
Basically the research suggested that luck was more about perception than anything else or that we make our own luck by how we view ourselves and our surroundings.
