Everyone wants luck, but not everyone believes that so called 'luck' is real. Is is just a figment of people's imaginations, or could there really be something behind the theory of luck?
Have you ever crossed your fingers and hoped that something good would happen? Or ever decide to turn around when you spot a black cat? You don't know if these are true, or where they came from, but you still do it, right? Well, a study shows that people who were told that they were using a lucky 'golf' ball tend to do better than people who were told it was just an ordinary golf ball. People who were allowed to hold on their 'lucky charm' also did significantly better. The conclusion is that people believe that they can do better and persist to keep trying when they have a lucky charm, since they think it holds 'great power' or something. People definitely to better at tasks when they think that someone else is helping them. Now if you think about, luck is just a word used to define good things happening to people. "Oh, I won the lottery, what good luck!" You might say. But really, it's not luck. If something good happens, you have no proof that 'luck' caused it. Now about Friday the 13th. How unlucky is it really? There's a reason why it's considered unlucky, since a lot of horrible things have happened on that day. But my theory is that people are so afraid of horrible things happening, that sometimes they make it happen themselves. But that can only be true for small things. What about the Paris bomb attacks on November 13, a Friday? .... So what do you think about luck? Does it exist according to you?
