Principle One
Lucky people build and maintain a strong "network of luck"
Lucky people score much higher than unlucky people on extroversion, which significantly increases the likelihood of having a chance encounter in three ways – meeting a large number of people, being a "social magnet," and keeping in contact with people.
The more people someone meets, the greater opportunity they have of running into someone who could have a positive effect on their lives. Social magnets attract others because they exhibit behaviors that other people find attractive and inviting, namely eye contact, smiling and open body language.
Lucky people are also effective at building secure and long-lasting attachments with the people they meet and often keep in touch with a much larger network of friends and colleagues than unlucky people.
