October 22, 200718 yr I believe that the attitude of the person most directly involved in an incident determines the outcome. If you bet $5 million on black on a Vegas roulette wheel, but you are reluctant to do it and are more than half convinced that you're going to lose, you will lose. As in, the majority expectation of any situation is always fulfilled. You couldn't tell yourself you were going to walk outside and find $100 dollars on the ground, then actually do it, because more than %50 of you would believe it wouldn't really happen. Therefore if you are very easily moved by hypnotic suggestion, you could try to convince yourself that you were going to have a good day, and I think you really would. That's just my new theory. Try to convince someone that water cures cancer. My greatest ambition is to kill every member of the human race.However I am a realist and therefore know that I probably wont be able to.
October 22, 200718 yr Author Oh no, then it must be so. :( But I am convinced this topic will get some interesting responses. Therefore it is only a matter of time. My greatest ambition is to kill every member of the human race.However I am a realist and therefore know that I probably wont be able to.
October 22, 200718 yr I can convince my self that all my problems are every body else's, i love your luck theory open up a church and knock on people's doors and ramble on about it. Oh the joy. 563rd to 99 mining on 15/08/0799 Farming
October 22, 200718 yr Try to convince someone that water cures cancer.Sadly some people do believe this. Its called homeopathy and a growing number of people are forgoing real treatment and medication for this quack remedy :( Mercifull <3 Suzi "We don't want players to be able to buy their way to success in RuneScape.

October 22, 200718 yr A positive attitude can be a very underestimated quality in good happening to you.
October 22, 200718 yr Law of Attraction Kashi - Quantum physics has already claimed that theory :P If you're a fan of that concept I recommend watching "The Secret" and applying/mixing it with books like "Cash Flow Quadrant" by Robert T. Kiyosaki :wink: "The Secret" is that the mind wields enormous power over our health. "I've seen kidneys regenerated. I've seen cancer dissolved," said Michael Bernard Beckwith, founder of Agape International Spiritual Center. Byrne told ABC that she wouldn't even get a flu shot because "if you're feeling good, how can you attract any illness to you?" "Disease cannot live in a body that's in a healthy emotional state," Proctor says in the film. Many famous athletes (e.g. Cathy Freeman off the top of my head) believe in the same concept. They concentrated on the end result (gold) and achieved it. It's the same thing Galileo, Plato, Einstein and Edison had in common. Marketing campaigns use it - Amway for example. If you're interested in any other titles or information, feel free to ask. The only people who tell you that you can't do something are those who have already given up on their own dreams so feel the need to discourage yours.
October 22, 200718 yr Actually your mood and the outcome of a random event are independent of each other. No what your mood is when you toss a coin 100 times the probability for heads/tails will be around 50%. Sorry for crushing your dreams.

No what your mood is when you toss a coin 100 times the probability for heads/tails will be around 50%. Sorry for crushing your dreams. But something that is real is the psychology it has on an individuals mind/thinking style and when in tune with it, can produce amazing results. So all dreams are not crushed at all :) I tried it with an open mind and lost nearly 20 kilos - The psychology behind it undoubtedly works for some individuals. The law of attraction works with the unconscious mind (also called subconscious mind) and the conscious mind, hypnosis (2007) With the positive thinking and psychology behind it all I have personally witnessed people pull themselves out of severe depression with it, without the use of medication (Not that I suggest in any way, shape or form that it works for all individuals or should even be contemplated by individuals).

I agree with both your points, because they are both different. His was about probabilities and chance, and yours about psychology and positive attitudes.
October 22, 200718 yr No offence, but he made a valid point and you sidetracked it. He made a valid negative point so I matched it with a valid positive point. You can call it sidetracked, or anything you like really. The only people who tell you that you can't do something are those who have already given up on their own dreams so feel the need to discourage yours.
October 22, 200718 yr No offense but I think this is a load of BS. If you hope someone will randomly go up to you and give you 500$, will it happen? NO. Point proven. When you mentioned the Dragon Plates I had a sudden vision of a load of gangsters running around in fancy dress yealling "Grim Reaper in da hood!"

You can have a positive outlook all you like but what a roulette rolls up is completely independant of your positivity.

You can call it sidetracked, or anything you like really. I'll call it a red herring. In response to someone's point, an unrelated point distracts debate from the original point and does nothing in adressing the original point. It only serves as a guise that the point has been adressed when it hasn't. But, you've acknowledged his point as valid, so it all worked it's way out in the end I suppose.

I didn't agree with the luck thing but just wanted to give Kashi some positive feedback that her theory works with other things : I would say it served a perfect point, however, clearly not the original point.

It's a good one. :P As I say, I definately don't disagree with your point, it's just the idea of positivity altering probabilities such as a 1/36 chance of a roulette wheel or a 1/2 chance of a coin toss which I disagree with. But, like any good idea, Kashi can test this (or link to a reliable test) and prove me wrong. :D
October 22, 200718 yr Optimism 'no bearing on cancer' The power of the mind has been overestimated when it comes to fighting cancer, US scientists say. Full story...

October 22, 200718 yr Well, if you ever come out with a book, citing the stream of consciousness of Kashi, the forum alias of yourself, in which you discuss menial things with little to no factual bases to reference upon, remind me not to buy it. This is how much you all raised for charity. Thank you.
October 22, 200718 yr No offense but I think this is a load of BS. If you hope someone will randomly go up to you and give you 500$, will it happen? NO. Point proven. Obviously you wouldn't prove anything by that. You don't want somebody to give you money, you want to prove your point. That's the reason why it's hard to make an experiment to generate evidence for this theory. You'd have to look into your subconscious mind to see what you want. If what you get matches what's in your subconsicousness that would count as evidence for, if you don't get what you want to it would count against the theory. Now what would the setup for this experiment look like? Well, if you ever come out with a book, citing the stream of consciousness of Kashi, the forum alias of yourself, in which you discuss menial things with little to no factual bases to reference upon, remind me not to buy it. You don't have to worry about wasting your money, since i guess you wouldn't buy a german book anyway =P
October 22, 200718 yr This is kinda of true but it doesn't have to do anything with luck. Luck is something taht only exists in Donald Duck cartoons and such. I would call it a spycholocical thing instead. Example scenario 1: You are going to job interview.If you are thinking positively about getting that job your changes of getting that job will increase. Explanation: The interviewer will see your positive mood and see that youre intrested. If you think that you can't get the job you will propably seem unconfident. Example scenario 2: You think positively about finding a hundred ÃÆââââ¬Ã¡Ãâì bill on the ground. Chances increase about you finding money on ground. Explanation: You are looking at the ground and trying to find the money. If you would think that you can't find money on the ground, you wouldn't be looking at the ground in the first place. Reality is hundreds of times more beautiful and more interesting than delusions. Fairy tales just tend to be easier to follow than the wonderful intricacies of life.
