In life you make your own luck.

In life you make your own luck. This is something I have never really believed to be true, I have always thought I am deemed to be unlucky ( bad things always happen to me). I believe this up until now, in lecture we were asked to fill out this sort of quiz sheet, which would tell us if we were lucky or unlucky. Mine come out that I was lucky, I thought to myself, this can't be true, I'm so unlucky. However it turns out the sheet was sort of right but I believe that you make your own luck in this world, things don't just fall into your lap.

There are 3 main principles of making your own luck

1. Maximize your chances. (Make contacts), don't just stand in a lift with someone you need to talk to, strike up a conversation you might end up with a great opportunity  you never knew about. Also look for opportunities , keep your eyes open. 

2. Listen to your lucky hunches, when something feels right, just do it! 9 time out of 10 your hunches will be right. Follow what you think is right.

3. Always be Persistent, even if you are knocked down all the time, you have to bounce back and try again, things will always work out when they need to. 

Luck is something that is handed to you on a plate, it shouldn't fall right into your lap, its something that you create by yourself.
