Just as we teach our children how to ride a bike, we need to teach them how to navigate social media and make the right moves that will help them. The physical world is similar to the virtual world in many cases. It’s about being aware. We can prevent many debacles if we’re educated.

Are You Feelin' Lucky?

A 2003 study from the UK says the more positive you are toward life, the luckier become...sort of..

Richard Wiseman has spent eight years investigating why some people appear to be consistently lucky or unlucky.

He said it is not intelligence or psychic ability, but a person's approach to life that matters, and he has devised four principles of luck.

One is to expect good fortune, which he says is often a self-fulfilling prophecy.

The others are :-

Maximise your chances of something good happening by creating, noticing and acting on opportunities,

Listen to "gut feelings" and act on "hunches" about people or situations,

Cope with bad luck and turn it around by imaging how things could have been worse, or looking at what could be done about the problem.
