Luck
Something fortuitous that happens unpredictably without discernible human intention.
Dr. James H. Austin
Luck
He conclude’s that chance is immune from human interventions.
Chance/Luck
There are 4 types of luck and they are influenced by:
- Motor exploratory activity - Sensory receptivity
Chance #1
The good luck that occurs completely accidental.
Chance #2
Luck that occurs completely accidental with the added factor of motion
Chance #2
This type of luck is generated through your hustle, sweat & tears
It is imperative to know how to distinguish motion from progress.
Tip
1) Set 2 or 3 bi-weekly KPI’s 2) Establish what you want to learn from
them 3) Actionable results from that analysis
Have a clear hypothesis on WHERE the engagement is going to happen
Tip
“Keep on going and chances are you will stumble on something, perhaps when you
are least expecting it”
Charles Kettering
Chance #3
It will be overlooked by everyone except by that 1 person uniquely equipped for that opportunity.
Tip
Observe it (Analysis), visualize it conceptually (UX experience), and fully grasp its significance (Output).
Luck smiles to the prepared mind
Louis Pasteur
Chance #4
An active, but unintentional, subtle prompting of luck. Favoring the individualized action.
Unluck
Luck runs out if you keep stirring up things so that random elements can combine, by virtue of you and their inherent
affinities
Unluck
You think you know what will work
Unluck
60-70% guess isn't much better than flipping a coin
Distinctive types
Chance #1 - impersonal and cannot be influenced
Chance #2 - favors those who are constantly curious
Chance #3 - smiles to those with some secret knowledge & skills to tackle the opportunity
Chance #4 - evolves around eccentric personalities, specific lifestyle & exploratory activity
