The Telegraph published a wonderful article on luckiness. Luckiness appears to be largely defined as "open to opportunity" which you might disagree with if you thought about it too hard, but as a working model is quite good. The article included three hints for becoming more lucky:

- Embrace variety. Always doing the same things will not make you open to opportunity
- See the positive even in negative events. (Which ironically supports my motto, "the upside of being a pessimist is that things almost always go better than you think they will")
