When I was a kid, my mother used to send us out on a mission to see who could find the most four-leafed clovers. I usually won since, as soon as I found the first one, I knew that odds were high that there would beothers in close proximity. And, since the winner would be excused from post-dinner cleanup, it was motivation to keep looking. How do the results of this compare to the readings? How could you use the theory behind this technique for other life or career activities?
