Super interesting, I just had a discussion about this with my partner. And we are both think we are «lucky» with the life we have but as well think it’s due to being able to see opportunities and take a risk.

Very true ☺️ One thing we wondered about though: how does one learn (or teach) that? Any suggestion?

This one is tough but I imagine it starts with surrounding yourself with people who are position and see taking risks as a lifestyle. This might be a good question for our friend ChatGPT :)

Good idea, I’ll try it out!

Risk and new opportunities make for great stories. Is there any other way to live??

I had never heard of a scientific experiment to measure the outcomes of people who feel "lucky" vs people who do not. Fascinating!

Yes! I love referring this study in conversations. Makes for a fun discussion :)

Reminds me of one of the best advice I ever got: Don’t marry your idea (after I kept pitching a bad idea I wouldn’t let go of 😅). I’m embarrassed thinking about it…
