They are skilled at creating and noticing chance opportunities, make lucky decisions by listening to their intuition, create self-fulfilling prophesies via positive expectations, and adopt a resilient attitude that transforms bad luck into good.
Be Lucky - It's an Easy Skill to Learn

Natural behaviors are generally either trivial or unpredictable. Artificial behaviors, on the other hand, can be extraordinarily complex. For instance, driving is estimated to involve around 1500 distinct subskills.2 And that’s just one domain of human experience. From cooking to programming to boarding an airplane, we deal with dozens of domains of comparable complexity. Social reality presents us with an extremely diverse and complex parade of situations, each of which calls for its own specialized behavioral vocabulary. Complex artificial behaviors have their own evolved, domain-specific tactical vocabularies of action. These are born, mature, and die just like human languages. At one time, knowledge of sword-fighting was commonplace. Today it is rare; that particular behavioral vocabulary has been displaced by the tactical vocabulary that governs shooting.
