HOW TO GET LUCKY

           1. Form many friendships. One of the distinguishing characteristics of people who enjoy consistent good luck is their knack for building a “spiderweb structure of contacts.” The more contacts a person has, the more are his odds of getting a lucky break.
Lucky people simply find friendly interaction enjoyable. This makes it easy for them to widen their fields of contacts.
Most contacts may vanish into oblivion. But sooner or later, some will come back to bring lucky breaks.
2. Be bold. Lucky people display another distinctive quality, which confirms the old Latin maxim, “Audentes fortuna juvat.” (Fortune favors the bold.)
Lucky people are bold enough to grab opportunities. But their boldness does not imply rashness.
If one stakes his life savings on a spectacular venture in which he stands to lose everything – that is rashness. He may have much to gain, but he also has an awesome investment to lose.
On the other hand, if one accepts an exciting job opportunity even if he hesitates at first to leave a secure job and start something completely new – that is boldness. He may also have much to gain, but little to lose.
3. Prepare for problems. “Luck comes to a mind prepared,” says an adage. From time to time, potential luck passes by everyone’s life, but only a potential luck passes by everyone’s life, but only a few are prepared and bold enough to seize it.
Upon accepting a lucky break, a person must anticipate what may go wrong. If, indeed, things start going wrong, he must be ready to apply the “ratchet effect” to prevent things from getting worse.  A ratchet is a device that allows a wheel to turn forward but prevents it from slipping backward.
4. Honor your hunches. The boldness of lucky people is tempered by another attribute – their “hunches.”
Investors, artists and other creative individuals often get their ideas and inspirations through mental vibrations ordinarily called hunches.
Hunches are facts, but they come as strong feelings or mental impressions that enable a person to know something without quite being able to explain how.
Intuitive person receive accurate knowledge through sources other than the physical senses. They have developed the ability to listen through their “sixth sense.”
5. Be realistic and flexible. To adopt the distinctive qualities of the lucky, make some changes in and around yourself – particularly your attitudes and beliefs that may run counter to the principles of handling luck.
It takes strong will power and consistent effort to make the necessary changes. But luck will generously outweigh the spent energy.
The lucky person acknowledges that perfect control of one’s life is an illusion. However, he has the capability – to a certain extent – to increase the lucky breaks and decrease the bad breaks.

Believe in Your Dreams

    As an adult, I have different dreams, of course. Now, instead of dreaming about taking a pass from Disney Land, I more inclined to dream about making the Fortune 500 in Las Vegas.
   Adults tend to think that “using your imagination" is kids stuff. I'm here to tell you that they are wrong. You are probably aware of the fact that Steven Spielberg is a partner in a company called Dream Works. That is not just some whimsical name created to be cute. They are one of the biggest dreamers I know.
  I'm also one of the world's greatest examples of someone who has created an incredibly successful life by flexing imagination and bravely following it, wherever it has taken me.
  I know I can't always put a happy face. Dreaming helps me achieve the goal that I wanted. I'ts a good start.
  I'm for telling the facts of life. To a great degree, it's the odds, and life's mess ups and there's nothing to be afraid of.
  So dream like a child!

How to Live Alone And Enjoy the Experience

     Living alone need not to be a dreadful experience. It can be a desirable, productive and legitimate alternative.


     The experience of loneliness has little to do with age, sex, income or occupation. It does however have anything to do with attitudes toward, and sometimes an obsessive need for a romance or marital relationship.
       1. Don't be afraid to live alone. Don't be afraid of what others will think. Being single doesn't mean              theres's something wrong with you; or that you're some kind of freak. Don't be afraid that you won't be able to take care of yourself financially.
        Many people fear that they’ll be overwhelmed by loneliness, anxiety, or depression, and that they won't be able to survive these emotions.
        2. Don't be afraid of your own thoughts and feelings. You will soon find that you can live alone, support and take care of yourself and discover that it is very liberating experience.
         You'll soon learn practical and domestic chores, like shopping, cooking, cleaning. Men may not know how to do this things initially,  but they can learn. They should read books, talk to friends, take classes - anything to get some training.
         Woman can learn to take care of a car just as they learn complicated housekeeping. But they need encouragement to learn things they don't know.
         3. Be good to yourself. Create a relationship with yourself that is as loving as a relationship with another person. This involves trying to live in a place that you feel reflects your tastes.
         It means cooking yourself the meals you would cook for someone else. It means doing what interests you, as if you were living with someone and wanted the relationship to be stimulating. This is reality and Facts about life.

How to Measure Your Ability To Love

 Admittedly, a checklist is not a romantic, poetic or philosophically gratifying way of  finding your ability as a person or even defining love; but you will see that it does effectively capture love and uncover its many layers of meaning. Let's see if love is really blind,or if you know how to recognize it.
    1. You feel completely comfortable with him.
     2. You feel his happiness is as important as your own.
     3. You accept and like him as he is and are not secretly thinking of completely remodeling him after you have him hooked.
     4. You know it is safe to entrust all of yourself to him.
     5. You respect him.
     6. You think his body is unique and wonderful.
     7. You're certain that he likes, trusts and respects you.
     8. You are able to tell him about all your anger, hurt, anxiety and dissatisfaction.
     9. There is a strong bond between you.
     10. He rarely bores you.
     11. You don't depend on him to make you happy. You are already a well-balanced person who knows that the person you love will enhance your happiness but that only you can make yourself happy or unhappy, a clinging or strong individual.

     If you said, "Yes, this is the way I love" (or intend to love)," and "Yes, this is the way I expect the person I love to love me," then you can be confident that you can recognize real love when you see it.

     However, if you answered any of these  with no or not yet, then you might be hypnotized or infatuated or involved in a relationship that is not going anywhere.
