Thursday’s essay, “Relationship Luck Takes Hard Work,” harkens back to July 7, 2007 (7-7-7), and those who married on that date to get triple the luck for their future success. The essay looks at the relationship between relationship success and luck. Does luck count? How does luck factor in? Is there any such thing as “luck”?

Relationship Luck Takes Hard Work
by Richard L. Weaver II

Excerpt:
Based on his monitoring of their lives, interviews he conducted, and experiments, Wiseman discovered that the thoughts and behavior of individuals is responsible for much of their good and bad fortune. For example, based on an experiment he conducted, he found that lucky people notice and respond to more opportunities than unlucky people. Unlucky people are generally more tense than lucky people, and it is their anxiety that disrupts their ability to notice the unexpected. They will go to a party intent on finding the perfect partner and miss opportunities to make good friends, or they will search through a newspaper determined to find a certain kind of job advertisement and miss other types of jobs.
