People with good-luck charms set higher goals and feel more confident than those without.

From The Week:

Quote:

Good-luck charms give you an advantage--if you believe they work.  In a series of experiments, people who carried a lucky charm set higher goals and felt more confident than those who left their rabbit's foot at home.  It's that confidence--not magic--that makes the difference. In one test, subjects who'd been told that a golf ball was "lucky" tended to perform better than those who were simply handed the ball.  "Superstitious behavior won't help you win the lottery," says psychologic Barbara Stoberock.  "But it could help you win a sporting event or pass a test."

Time to start wearing your lucky pair of boxers before you venture out your door in the morning?  :tongue:

Well, as creators of our own reality of course being positive and believing that luck is on your side is going to make it happen, Captain!

Indeed.  I wonder how the results would have compared between people carrying their lucky charms and people just using positive thought about their luckiness.  Which is more effective?

I figure that'd be tough to gage. If you have a little bracelet on your arm that you look at once a minute and go "come on good luck!" you'll probably have more than somebody who just thinks positively. I think it really just comes down to how strong our intentions are.

my dad (rest his soul) always told me that a man that is prepared can make his own luck. i believe that. i think some one who is a "i can do it" person will have more success than, a person who is a "i cant do it" type of individual.

Now THAT'S a blast from the past. I remember my aunt reading that to me when I was four.

As for the good luck charms, I definitely think that if you 'believe' in good luck and embrace it then perhaps you will have it.
