How Can You Create Luck in Everyday Life?
You can probably agree that some people have more good things happening to them. Let's just call that luck. Now would you like to learn how to be one of these lucky people? Here are 5 top tips for creating your own luck.
It is easy to believe that you never have any luck in everyday life if you don't seem to be getting any breaks. But having had a difficult life gives you unusual lessons and develops courage.
Some people are already lucky and they just don't know it. Instead of giving all your attention to what you are short of, look at how lucky you already are. You no doubt have some wonderful friends family and a roof over your head.
Luck doesn't just happen upon us—it comes to us when we're open. Learning a new skill, visiting a new place and trying a new hobby are all great ways of creating your chances.
You'll never create any luck if you sit there waiting for it to fall into your lap. Take steps towards your goals and dreams and greet every challenge. You will find you create more luck in everyday life.
Sometimes people would be prepared to help us out. If you need a hand with dealing with something rather than wait for someone to offer you a lucky break, go and ask them if they will help you out.
A. Try Something New B. Take Action Right Now C. Ask for Help If Necessary D. Feel Lucky about What You Have E. See the Good in the Past F. Be Confident at Any Time |
I was happy in those days before I started going to school. Because I had good neighbors to play with. I played with them from morning to evening. We played games outdoors, dressed up as cowboys and rode around on our tricycles(三轮车) happily.
At the age of five, I had to go to kindergarten(幼儿园) and it was quite hard for me at first. I felt very sad about having to leave my mother each morning. I cried and wanted my mother around. As the days went by, however, I made friends easily in my class. I became happy again and looked forward to leaving my house each morning.
I still remember those days when I was learning to ride a bicycle. I fell several times but I never gave up. Finally, I was able to join my friends riding around on my bike.
Another memory I like is the end-of-year concert held at the kindergarten. I was chosen to play the role of Jack in the play, Jack and the Magic Beans. I became the superstar that night and received praise for my performance.
What a wonderful childhood I had! At times I really wish I could go back to those days.
