I'm betting you probably have lots of friends like she does. Because who isn't drawn to a happy, upbeat person?<br /><br />So fun that your daughter "lucked" out on her first four-leaf-clover hunt. I smiled over this story. I believe in the power of positive thinking too. Especially when it's combined with taking some kind of action toward a goal.<br /><br />Have a lovely March 1st!<br /><br />~ JoanJoan Holubhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08955630482523678111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5488191966351130111.post-32110092570261420662012-03-01T12:31:46.820-06:002012-03-01T12:31:46.820-06:00Hi Laura,

At least James Cameron worked hard for his successes with Avatar and Titanic. But there's a bit of luck and serendipity in those successes as well. The timing couldn't been wrong for the release, etc. <br /><br />And you make a good point--I'd rather have no luck than bad luck!<br /><br />Thanks for dropping a comment!<br /><br />~ JoanJoan Holubhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08955630482523678111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5488191966351130111.post-46202340722504290502012-03-01T10:50:50.923-06:002012-03-01T10:50:50.923-06:00Hi Joan, I don't really call myself lucky, but...Hi Joan, I don't really call myself lucky, but optimistic. And I believe there is power in positive thinking. But when you mention luck, I think of my daughter who found a four-leaf clover the VERY first time she looked for one.<br /><br />I think she was about four years old when she came to me and said she was going to the yard to look for a four-leaf clover. I think I said something like, "I don't think they really exist, but you can look if you want." I swear that child came back to me within minutes with a four-leaf clover in her hand. I had looked for those things my whole childhood and never found one. She found one on her first try. Luck or the power of positive thinking?

I think that's how it is for everyone!<br /><br />Then again, some people do seem to have more good luck than others. Like that person I heard about in the news a while ago who won a big lottery TWICE. I mean, what the heck?? And look at film director James Cameron: Audiences embraced Titanic making it a worldwide phenomenon and then he somehow did it AGAIN only twelve years later with Avatar. Some people have more good luck than others! <br /><br />And then there are the people who seem to have more bad luck than others. :( I'd much other have no luck at all than have more bad luck, that's for sure.Laura S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13934230198562773803noreply@blogger.com
