LUCK COMES TO THOSE WHO ARE SEEN

I’m so passionate about many things but I didn’t want to let people know I act like it doesn’t affect me much but I work so hard behind the scenes. Like I would go to dance/dog agility/photography/singing/University class and act like that I’m not as passionate as others but then when I go home I tirelessly practice again and again. Secretly wishing people knew how I truly felt.

All my life my parents told me to be humble and not brag about my success. So even when I got straight As no one knows because I can’t say, parent say I’m bragging if I praise myself.

MAKE CLEARLY TO OTHERS YOUR ACTIONS AND ENTHUSIASM.

Dear world, I love writing songs and singing. However now I want maximum luck

Will try not to cancel on people

Act quickly and decisively

Conditions can change and answer changes

When young mom and dad say NO means NO so I’m like ok :(

The book is very short but very powerful and insightful. It's just 1 hr as an audiobook and just 54 pages as an ebook.

I've been having love-and-hate kind of relationship when it comes to believing in luck. The rules of good luck mentioned in this book are so practical and logical that this book has cleared away all the doubts I had about luck. My mind is finally able to believe in luck and how people can get "lucky."

If you're feeling "unlucky" in life, I recommend you to read this book.

You create luck instead of luck happens to you. The point is to be where something were to happen. For example, if you are at the right place and create the opportunity to be there when a fortunate event happens, you become lucky and this traits is trainable. The book give an interesting expose on how to be more lucky.

this extremely short self-help book gives us the 13 bullet points of how to increase luck and find good opportunities in life. What he says makes sense, but it also reminds me of the principles on the law of attraction and esoteric teachings as well. as it's included on Audible subscription and it's about 1h long it's worth a go, if for nothing else, it will feel more positive.

[Anderson Ordonez · Rating 5 out of 5]

Very intriguing book that seeks to distill luck into a science. I must say I agree with this message 100%. Luck is just different factors merging together to make something happen and you being able to seize opportunities and be resilient in the face of failure
