I normally don’t buy magazines, but this one I couldn’t resist, plus if you look closely the receipt came to $7.77. How lucky is that?!
In the magazine, they promote a page on luck (mentalfloss.com/luck), but a Page Not Found Error popped up. I then did a site search on the word luck and got these 8 articles on luck:
Why Do We Cross Our Fingers For Good Luck?
Why Are Black Cats Considered Bad Luck?
“Luck of the Irish” is an Old Mining Expression
A Mid-Week Dose of Tips & Superstitions
The Man Who Pressed His Luck … and Won
Aussie Good Luck: 6 Australians Who Caught Lucky Breaks
10 Unusual New Year’s Traditions From Around the World
I also did a site search for the luck articles that were listed, but did not appear in my initial search:
The 50-Year History of Lucky Charms, in 65 Marbits
13 Reasons People Think the Number 13 is Unlucky
Stay tuned as I will be blogging about luck all this week and in my newsletter The Winning EDGE.
Do you believe in Luck?
Interesting articles – I especially liked the New Years traditions from around the world – like eating pancakes 🙂
Thanks for posting these articles Carolyn, always LOVE reading contesting/sweeping stories. Always gives us more hope & inspiration to keep going when we are in a dry spell.
