 Top 10 Sites About Luck

Many times, I have described the role luck plays in mojo. In an earlier post, I described all of the components of mojo including luck. Luck, although it is one of the least important component of mojo, does matter. Luck is a controversial topic. There are many different ideas about what luck means and what luck is. A good place to start is a reliable definition of luck. One that I like is Wikipedia’s.
  1. Wikipedia defines luck in this link. If you don’t like Wikipedia, I recommend a good dictionary. I like dictionary.com as an online source.
  2. Next, I would look for synonyms and antonyms, such as at thesaurus.com. It is useful to know what is and what isn’t due to luck. This will allow us to be on the same page. It is also useful to have alternative words to use in your expressions.
  3. Next are some philosophical point about luck. For example, the next page indicates that attitude matters, too. I couldn’t agree more. Sometimes, if you have a good attitude, luck will follow you.
  4. Next, this page goes into more about luck than just a definition, explaining what the author thinks it really is. What is luck? happens to have it exactly like I would have it?
  5. Of course, there are contrary opinions. This Scientific American blog explores the idea that luck is only a piece of the picture. True, there is mor to mojo and to success than just luck. Speaking only about mojo, luck is only a component and not the most critical component at that. However, it can be helpful. It might be useful to re-read my post entitled “Is it Better To Be Lucky Than Good?”
  6. One place I like to look about any subject is Brainy Quotes. These quotes give you a more rounded view of what luck is. They are sometimes more pithy and less dry than pure definitions. I like to look at this site and get inspired to peruse other topics as well.
  7. In order to get some idea of what other people think about luck, it is instructive to consider that     performing arts traditions warn against wishing someone good luck. The popular saying before a performance is “break a leg.” Sometimes, these traditions can be seen as gallows humor. Sometimes, they mean the opposite of what is said. But it can come in handy to know that people who depend on luck professionally have a certain attitude about it.
  8. Another occupation that depends on luck is gambling. Gamblers deal with luck in a unique way, using amulets and charms to coax good luck into their activities. They can be very superstitious. Athletes can also be superstitious. They have their own ways of wishing each other good luck, as described in
  9. wishing a person good luck before a competition. Lastly, there are messages that anyone can send wishing another person good luck. These are described in
  10. good luck messages.  I hope all of these sites can be helpful to you.

  Mojo Heroes And Antiheroes There are both heroes and antiheroes among people with high mojo. There is no law that says a person with high mojo has to be a nice person. Sometimes they are, sometimes they aren’t. Let’s define anti-hero. Webster says an anti-hero is “a protagonist or notable figure who is conspicuously lacking in heroic qualities”. Examples of heroic qualities are strength, ability, achievement, courage, and nobility. The number of anti-heroes compared to heroes is greater in fiction than in real life. It is just more fun to write about or play the more complex characters typified by anti-heroes. It exploits the talents of the actors better. It also seems as if there are more anti-heroes today than in prior years. But all of the people I am about to mention had high mojo, whether hero or anti-hero. In an earlier post , I described the top 10 American people with high mojo. They were George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson, Ronald Reagan, Benjamin F

Top 10 Mojo Effects

Top 10 Mojo Effects I am going to concentrate on the effects of a high mojo individual or set of individuals on a group of people, rather than on individuals themselves who have mojo. If you acquire more mojo for your group, you may experience one or more of these effects. There are three types of effects that you will see. There are the direct effects of increasing mojo on the group. There are the indirect effects of the example set by adding the mojo. Lastly, there are the synergistic effects each group member experiences from having a teammate with mojo. When you add mojo to your group, you also add each of the component of mojo : motivation , expertise , experience , support , faith , willingness to act , and luck . Obviously there is a net increase in each of these in the group. But with them, you get an example of proper attitude, behavior, and preparation (see below for the effects these will have). Also, each member of your group will come to know that they have a rol

Age and mojo How old can you be to start an activity? You have probably heard all of these: Age is just a number You are never too old  Youth isn’t all it’s cracked up to be There is no age limit to anything On the other hand, proverbial wisdom says: Youth must be served You need to do something for 10,000 hours before you can be good at it, If you fail early, you can learn from the experience before others even get started. It is easier to adopt good habits when you are young. These statements conflict with other. What is the truth? I will discuss four different ways of looking at age. Average “best” age Inspiration from outstanding performances at advanced ages Age limiting factors Age preventative measure People speak of a peak age for any given event. The best way to look at age is as a probability. For example, the probable peak age for a female gymnast is in the early teens. The probable peak age for a sprinter is in the late tw
