This video really help me a lot. I try her idea. It WORK!
Every-time when I try to do something new. I ask myself a question: if it fail, what is worst result, what would you loss? The answer always come as “ just a little something or nothing will be lost”
I try and try... to take those risks. My life changes and feel like more confident doing anything, basic on the good results.

Analogy for what she explained:
Rolling a dice is chance, but the more you roll, you'll get something good more times (you'll get bad more times too).

I have read your book and it's amazing (for anyone who is interested, it's called "What I wish I knew when I was 20" by Tina Seelig), but I would like to hear you saying to a person with anxiety to step out of his/her comfort zone and start a conversation with a complete stranger.

Thank you for this wonderful talk. I find it so true that the more you work on something the higher chance you get it. So just increase your luck by continuously taking small risks everyday.

Here are what i learnt to catch the Winds of Luck :

1. Always be brave to take some risks in life, it may help u construct a better relationship with people.


2. Walk out of your comfort zone.Don’t Lock ourselves in the comfort zone otherwise it takes a exhausting process to make it.


3. Keep Appreciation in mind. Remember to be grateful to people in circumstances whether he helps you or not .You can write down people whom recently you make contact with and sent appreciation message to them.


4. Excavate the Bad ideas. Even the most horrible ideas can be turned into some brilliant ideas if you think deeply. Some ideas were thought to be ridiculous in the first place, but it proved that they were truly practical as well as genius.
