People who seem to have all the luck are not usually blessed by a shocking amount of good fortune. They simply have a healthy attitude, which enables them to take advantage of their situations.Those who are closed－minded and negative simply don't allow as many good things into their lives, or if good things appear, they don't even recognize them.
Having a positive way of organizing your thoughts allows you to create your own luck in everyday life.1.
Focus on what you want
Whatever you focus on, you tend to get more of. Many people spend time thinking about what they don't want—and that same horrible stuff keeps showing up in their lives.2.
Be flexible
Closed－minded people don't often come up with solutions, because they see only one way of achieving something.And if that doesn't work out, they just give up. If you open your mind to alternative options and possibilities, you'll find that things start working out where you thought they wouldn't. It seems like luck.3.
Be determined
Many celebrities, tycoons(大亨) and business owners are called lucky，with everyone assuming that they got a break(机会) to be where they are now.4.If you work hard and do the right things, it will be acknowledged，and you will be rewarded with more luck in everyday life.
5.
Instead of focusing on what's lacking, look at how lucky you already are. You no doubt have some wonderful friends, family, a roof over your head and food on the table. By acknowledging these things regularly, you can instantly feel more lucky.
A．Be grateful for what you have
B．Here are the tips for creating your own luck
C．Be grateful for the good that came from your past
D．But often success is down to determination rather than luck
E．Trying something new is a great way of getting more opportunities
F．But it's your open－mindedness and flexibility that allow luck to happen
G．Instead，paying attention to what you want will make you have more access to luck
Some time ago，a man punished his 5－year－old daughter for wasting a roll of expensive gold wrapping (包装) paper.
Money was tight and he became more upset when the child wasted the gold paper so as to decorate a box to put under a Christmas tree.
Nevertheless，the little girl brought the gift box to her father the next morning and said，“This is for you，Daddy.”
The father was embarrassed by his earlier overreaction，but his anger flared again when he found the box empty.He spoke to her in a harsh manner，“Don't you know young lady，when you give someone a present there's supposed to be something inside the package？”
The little girl looked up at him with tears in her eyes and said，“Oh，Daddy，it is not empty.I blew kisses into it until it was full.” The father was crushed.He fell on his knees and put his arms around his little girl and he begged her to forgive his unnecessary anger.
An accident took the life of the child only a short time later and it is told that the father kept the gold box by his bed for all the years of his life and whenever he was discovered or faced difficult problems，he would open the box and take out an imaginary kiss and remember the love of the child who had put it there.

Those with a fear of heights might want to give this exclusive eatery(餐厅) a miss，because it juts right out hundreds of feet above a canyon(峡谷)—and there's a glass floor to make the experience even more frightening.
Designed by Tall Arquitectos，the Copper Canyon Cocktail Bar(铜峡谷鸡尾酒吧) will overlook the Basaseachic Falls(萨赛奇瀑布) in Mexico from above.
The Copper Canyon，if built，will consist of two levels，with the first featuring a bar—for those who need a stiff drink to calm their nerves—and a dining area，which will have tables positioned around to make the best of the views. Once their meal is over，diners can retreat to the upstairs observation deck for a more chilled view.
They can also take a dip in the swimming pool to cool down after their one－of－a－kind fine dining experience, which is bound to leave them with vertigo(眩晕)．Or they'll be able to abseil(绕绳下降) down to the canyon floor.
Renderings(效果图)show that if approved，the restaurant and bar will be completely elevated above the canyon in Mexico.
The world's tallest restaurant title currently remains with Atmosphere，which opened its doors 1,350 feet up on the 122nd floor of the Burj Khalifa(哈利法塔)in Dubai(迪拜)．
