Two Things to Welcome Your Luck

Many times you would have come across people talking about luck. Some would say they are lucky to achieve something in life. Now and then, you would see many ways to become lucky; you would have seen YouTube videos and audios on luck so and so forth.

Well, let's do a thorough analysis of this topic. We segregate the luck into some bucket and figure out which bucket you can fill in for getting luck in your life. Are you ready to do that then read further or else sayonara :)

According to Anthony Tjan, co-author of the New York Times bestseller Heart, Smarts, Guts, and Luck, there are three types of luck:?

Circumstantial Luck:?You tag along with a friend to someone else's dinner party and get introduced to someone. Both of you, like each other, get romantically involved and eventually get married. Being at the right place at the right time made it possible. The circumstances made it happen.

Constitutional Luck:?Age, race, heritage, culture, or upbringing can predispose you to a certain outcome. For example, being promoted within a company because you are from the boss's region is constitutional luck. You can get the vaccine in 1st phase because you are above 45 age.?

Dumb Luck:?The sort of luck where one cannot analyze the cause and effect. Winning the lottery or finding a thousand rupee note on the pavement is dumb luck, or you got the same question for which you have studied in the last minutes for the exam. Well, these are fantasy luck that happens to a few people.

As you would have figured it out, constitutional and dumb luck is not your hand; one can substantially improve the circumstantial luck in one's life. So we will see a real-life story to understand how you can increase your circumstantial luck.

Barnett Helzberg Jr., a successful businessman, had created a chain of extremely profitable jewelry stores with annual revenues above $300 million. One fine day, while walking in front of the Plaza Hotel in New York, he heard a stranger addressed as 'Mr Buffet'.

Helzberg had heard of the legendary investor Warren Buffett but had never seen him before. (In those times, Warren Buffett's face was not universally recognized.) Helzberg wondered whether the man stepping out of the hotel could be the same financial genius that Helzberg had read about.?

Helzberg wanted to exit his business owing to his advancing age. Based upon some reports he had read, he knew the qualities that Buffet sought in an acquisition. Helzberg believed that his chain of jewelry stores could meet Buffet's criteria.?

Deciding to take the bull by the horns, Helzberg walked up to the stranger and introduced himself. This turned out to be a great decision. The man was indeed Warren Buffet. A year later, he acquired Helzberg's business at an excellent valuation.

The story shows few things, which you can also apply in your own life to bring more circumstantial luck in your life. Well, let me tell you two things only that can help you help.

1. Attitude?
2. Approach?

Attitude:?This refers to our way of thinking or feeling about someone or something. Our past successes, failures, interactions, and experiences influence our attitudes, thus resulting in a tendency to instinctively favor or disfavor (sometimes erroneously).

Approach:?This refers to one's particular way of dealing with a situation or handling a challenge or task. The approach tends to be influenced by our education, work experience, training, and skills.

Hope you can read the illustrated story and figure out how Helzberg could bring fortune to himself, I mean, his attitude and approach for bringing circumstantial luck.

Now it's time for you to introspect about your life story. Introspection you can do better and easy way how? Let's discuss it in the next article with a story.
