What control my destiny?
British psychologist Richard Wiseman recorded an experiment in the book “The Lucky Method”.
They recruited a group of subjects, asked them to assess whether they were lucky or unlucky, and then asked two groups to go to a coffee shop to buy coffee.
On the way to the coffee shop, Wiseman designed two small sessions for each subject:
1. Put a falling dollar on the road;
2. Arrange for a merchant to pretend to wait for coffee in a cafe.
As a result, for those who thought they were unlucky, almost no one saw the dropped dollar, let alone accosted the businessman;
People who think they are lucky can almost always pick up money, and they can chat happily with businessmen while waiting for a coffee slot.
Wiseman found through research that people who think they are lucky are more sensitive to the outside world, so they are easy to pick up money and are willing to communicate with strangers.
People who think they are unlucky tend to be nervous, anxious, neurotic, and easy to slip away when opportunities lie ahead.
Lange, a tenured professor at Harvard University, also confirmed:
“There is a connection between the heart and the body, between mind and the body.”
