A colleague of mine was married recently. Our client decided to pool money together and buy Toto based on his wedding car license plates. It seems they won some money. Now they are asking him to pool some money again for the $1.5M Toto draw next week. They were saying that newly weds have huge amount of luck which supposedly will rub off others.
It was the same for my case. The friend who lend me his car for the wedding had a son not long after, which he was trying for quite some time.
What is this thing about having huge amount of luck when one is newly wed? From what I understand from the older folks, it seems that when one has a joyous major occasion, it tends to bring in luck too.
So why is this so? I suspect it has less to do with the occasion and more to do with the happiness during the occasion. There is much happiness during weddings, everyone is laughing, smiling and happy. There is much happiness during the birth of a new child, much happiness during birthdays. Could it be that making oneself happy, making the people around you happy, is the main criteria for luck?
There is a school of thought in geomancy that when one is happy constantly, there will be less hiccups in his life. In order to be lucky, could it be as simple as just trying to be happy and making people around you happy?
Now that is food for thought.
