Even if you're not superstitious,it's hard not to ascribe other people's good fortune to luck. Everyone knows that one person who seems to always be in the right place at the right time, getting more than their fair share of promotions, raises, and desks nearthe window. So how do these folks do it? 纵然你不迷信，还是很容易把别人的成功归咎于幸运。我们知道，有的人总是能够做好所有的事情，在升职、加薪方面比一般人得到更多的机会，还有得到靠近窗口的办公桌。那么这些人是如何做到的呢？ 1.Observe their surroundings. 敏锐观察。 One of the ironies of working life is that the hardest working people usually havetheir heads down and their eyes on their own page. This is admirable, but ifyou allow yourself to develop tunnel vision, you won't notice opportunities when they present themselves. 勤奋工作的人被讽刺说只会埋头于自己的那点工作上。他们是令人钦佩的，但是如果你仍然带有一孔之见，当机会来临的时候，你会错过它们。 In one experiment designed by Richard Wiseman, a former magician and psychologist who studies luck, he asked people to self identify themselves as lucky or unlucky. Then he gave his test subjects a newspaper. "Countthe number of photographs inside," he told them. 曾做过魔术师并且专门研究幸运的心理学家，理查德·威斯曼（RichardWiseman）设计了一个实验，在实验中，他让实验者把自己标识为幸运和不幸运两种。然后给他们测试用的报纸。“数一下里面有多少图片。”他告诉实验者。 |
