Do people get bad luck forever if they say never?

Answer 1

Luck, it has been said, occurs at the intersection of preparation and opportunity. (Don't worry; it takes a while for the meaning of this to sink in.) There is no such thing as 'bad luck forever.' What may appear to be a string of so-called 'bad luck' is either coincidence or mindset or a combination thereof. Having a positive outlook, and being prepared to take advantage of an opportunity when it comes along, are the best ways to avoid so-called 'bad luck.' Irrational thinking is the most likely way to experience 'bad luck.' Saying something, a word or phrase, does not in itself bring bad luck. But thinking it does can put someone into a negative mindset. There is nothing unlucky about the number 13, and neither is there anything lucky about the number 7. There is nothing inherently unlucky about the word 'never.' The only thing that matters is your outlook toward those things. As Dale Carnegie wrote many years ago, there is power in positive thinking.
