| Are successful people just lucky?
You hear it all the time: That person was 'lucky' in business. Or those people are 'more fortunate' than others.
But, what role does 'luck' really play in success? Psychologists at Stanford University say certain attitudes seem to lead to 'good luck' and success in life.
* An open mind. Think of life as a garden of possibilities. Be curious.
* Persistence. Everyone has ups and downs in work and life. If you persistently follow your goal and deal with disappointment, you will do well.
* Flexibility. Though you have a specific goal in mind, be open to variations and new ideas.
* Positive thinking. Look at a painful experience and, instead of focusing on what you lost, calculate what you gained.
* Risk taking, whether it's in your personal life or at work. It will make you more resilient.
Meanwhile, certain values also play a role in a person's 'luck.'
A recent survey by Robert Half staffing shows that honesty may be the most valuable asset in creating opportunity.
Employers told interviewers that honesty was the top requirement for new hires. The same is true for those seeking a better job within an organization. Of the employers interviewed, 58 percent said the qualities that impress them most, aside from ability and willingness to do the job, are honesty and integrity. That is an increase of 26 percent compared to five years ago.

Let's say it's 6:15 p.m. and you're driving home (alone of course),
after
an unusually hard day on the job. You're really tired, upset and
frustrated.
Suddenly you start experiencing severe pain in your chest that starts
to
radiate out into your arm and up into your jaw.
You are only about five miles from the hospital nearest your
home,unfortunately you don't know if you'll be able to make it that
far.
What can you do?
You've been trained in CPR but the guy that taught the course
neglected to
tell you how to perform it on yourself.
HOW TO SURVIVE A HEART ATTACK WHEN ALONE
Since many people are alone when they suffer a heart attack,this
article
seemed in order. Without help, the person whose heart stops beating
properly and who begins to feel faint,
has only about 10 seconds left before losing consciousness.
However, these victims can help themselves by coughing repeatedly and
very
vigorously.
A deep breath should be taken before each cough, and the cough must
be
deep and prolonged, as when producing sputum from deep inside the
chest.
A breath and a cough must be repeated about every two seconds without
let
up until
help arrives, or until the heart is to be beating normally again.
Deep breaths get oxygen into the lungs and coughing movements squeeze
the
heart and keep the blood circulating. The squeezing pressure on the
heart
also helps it regain normal rhythm. In this way, heart attack victims
can
get to a hospital.
Tell as many other people as possible about this, it could save their
Lives!
