As always, i still maintain that i’m one of the luckiest people I know :). Read an interesting article today about how being Lucky is a skill which can be learnt.

The article is from 6 years back, got it on Hacker News today. It lists three easy techniques to maximize good fortune. More like three observations about lucky people:

1. Lucky people tend to respect hunches, intuition etc. Funny, coz this is what my twitter bio reads: “I overanalyze small decisions and take big decisions on an impulse… works for me!”
2. Lucky people try to introduce variety into their lives
3. Lucky people tend to see positives even in their misfortunes

And a bonus fourth point (from me):

• Fortunate people tend to acknowledge that they are, indeed, fortunate.

Good read, that article. Wonder what its doing in the technology section of the telegraph though!
