Lucky people are more relaxed and open

Unlucky people miss chance opportunities because they are too focused on looking for something else. They go to parties intent on finding their perfect partner, and so miss opportunities to make good friends. They look through the newspaper determined to find certain job advertisements and, as a result, miss other types of jobs. Lucky people are more relaxed and open, and therefore see what is there, rather than just what they are looking for.

Really liked this quote from an article I just came across titled "What Lucky People Do Different".

Success is not about luck (video by David Heinemeier Hansson of 37signals)

I like this quick video. I think "I got lucky" said by some people provides a nice excuse of "I didn't get lucky" for many people. In my opinion it's not luck, it's persistence and faith.
