• Optimism is the energy source for positive change. If humility is the foundation for intellectual curiosity, then optimism gives people the belief, inspiration, and energy that enable the realization of new possibilities. More, better, and faster is always possible in the mind-set of an optimist. It is a self-fulfilling prophecy: more Luck tends to come to those people who believe in possibility and see the good in something before they see the bad. Optimists are givers of energy rather than takers of it. Their positive dispositions put them in the path of a greater number of “surprise” encounters with good fortune. Driven by an unshakable belief in the potential for better, they tend as well to act on what they find through their intellectually curious pursuits. This completes the virtuous circle of the Lucky Attitude: optimism coupled with execution capabilities is what allows us to take full advantage of the Luck bestowed on us.

The luckiest people in the business world are those who say to themselves: I am humble enough to realize I don’t know how to and can’t do most things on my own; I am curious and courageous enough to ask questions that might be embarrassingly naive; and I embrace the “glass half-full” optimism that the end result can always be improved on.
