Don't scoff at those lucky stones. New research shows that having some kind of lucky token can actually improve your performance - by increasing your self-confidence.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

People like Michael Jordan used to wear his college team shorts underneath his basketball uniform for good luck; Tiger Woods wears a red shirt in tournaments on Sundays, usually the last and most important day of a tournament.

So users, do you also think that good luck charms in perking up performance?

I believe a belief in superstition might help people do better by improving their confidence. Even Psychological Science says so.

NO i don't think so. It is the work that gives you value.You can quote some examples on good luck charm,similarly i can also quote many examples of successful sportsmen,businessmen,celebrities having no such filling.

I have not heard any successful scientist or any Noble Award winner believes in this theory.Just it is the time passing business.How we can believe that the players losses the game having no such good luck charm but ONLY the winners having good luck charm.

I think you need some luck for every thing in your luck. It is a question of belief somebody may not belive but unless lady luck doesnot smile one may not perform as per the expectation of himself/herself.

Thanks for the referral Ms Disha

Even though hard work, zeal, enthusiasm and other factors are important for success, but human being are superstitious by nature. We try to associate our success with some stone, wood, shirt or anything else. It just helps us regain our confidence.

Some extent but not always , for perk up performance your inner driving skills matters and your self confidence and your strength which shapes your personality but in organisation the luck always works even i always tell to people luck and hard work both makes the business man and entrepreneur thats why because i have seen the same effort put up by two person and same resources one is successful and another is not so luck is the important factor

Yes Disha, absolutely right.

The luck factor plays a role in building confidence, confidence boosts your energy levels to take up challenges and results in better performance.

Some may call it superstitious, but lets accept it.

Thanks

mere possession of the charm changes something that is intangible to something tangible. you could not lay your hands on good luck. now you have a physical object that is supposed to bring that good luck in!!!

that mere belief on a tangible physical article boosts your self confidence and consequently your performance

Thank u for invitation  to the subject Disha, Human as well as the total life on the earth is controlled by magnetic fields between other planets. When you are in a good combination of vibration it is called good luck on the day. Since common man have no control on the magnetic field, human approaches  God for good luck and your belief can create a confidence in you physiologically.

I complitely agree with you sir, Its a mind frame, Good luck chams only help one to create a possibility mind frame. ultimately its one's effort that pay returns to his work and not his Good luck charm or any thing.

It is only a mental frame work that individual possesses. There is no luck but only hardwork turns to be a good luck. Sometime, the result of hard work is direct & sometime it is indirect. When it is indiscreet we beleive on these morals.

NO... ITS ALL IN THE MIND !

These kinds of Good Luck Charms & so called Luck Boosters are nothing but adrenalain for the Brain.

The Mind gets a psychic KICK and that maybe spurs a person to try better.
