Take a look at this news bit on an experiment in defining
"lucky" and "unlucky" people:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/3335275.stm

This is also useful to us as activists because a large
segment of the population still feels helplessly "unlucky"
in the face of modern trials and underestimates (thanks to
'feel-good' superfice) the importance of attitude, and such
articles (along with Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi's 1991 study,
*Flow*) help us to empower them to work towards the greater
good.

yours,
W. Everett Chesnut
