BOOK RECOMMENDATION: Good Luck

"You read about this story, it isn't by accident... "

"When you get to know about this story, good luck has already come to you..."

Hahaha is it true? If luck is all about fate and arrangement, then I should thank God for His arrangement for sending Ms. V to give me this book 'cause it's a gift given by her on the last day I left my previous company :P

How interesting it is! This book is written by two spanish Economists, Alex Rovira and Fernando Trias de Bes, they not only hadn't implied any economic ideas in the story, but instead chosen an ordinary children's literature style to show the core message that they tended to share, which made this book more lively. Also, these guys spent eight hours to get the book written, but three years to research on *luck* and assemble the info about *luck*.

Four-leaf Clover is in the leading role of the story; in fact, it's a category of creeping oxalis with four inverted heart-shaped leaves. Supposedly, it has three-leaf before its mutation, but don't know since when some of them sprouted one more leaf for unknown reason, therefore, a rare part of them have four leaves. According to the legend, saying that the first leaf represents *Belief*, the second leaf represents *Love*, the third one *Hope* and the forth one *Luck*. If you're lucky, the three-leaf clover will sprout the forth leaf for you!

I personally love this book so much and I highly reccomend you guys to read it! The motive of this book is that... you shouldn't do nothing and wait for luck to knock your door. Luck is supposed to be everywhere, the point is whether you can grab it or not. If you can't, means that you're so not well-prepared for the luck/ the chance comes, then don't moan!
