Good nugget in the middle of the article:

> Of course, “be lucky” is not a very useful piece of advice. But some of their advice might help you to recognize and take advantage of your luck.

My wife and I used to quote the statement to each other quite a bit as it happens. It helped make us seemingly more lucky than most.
