Reading "Human being"

Read the text and match the correct heading with each paragraph (1-5). There are two extra headings that you do not need to use.

Many of us know people who hardly ever seem to fail even if their chances of success are low. They do little revision before an exam and get questions just about what they have studied. Or, they go to a job interview and get the job although they are not the best candidates. Fortune always seems to smile on them.

As time passes, the lucky ones begin to notice their good luck. They become more confident and are not afraid to take risks. As they decide to take up more challenges, their confidence grows, even if they do fail at times.

This is because people who consider themselves to be lucky tend to remember fortunate events and try to forget the times when they failed. This is common and completely normal as that way people build their self-esteem and focus on pleasant memories.

However, most people do not like to think that they are simply born fortunate and they would not succeed without their good luck. Studies have shown that a lot of those lucky people come to believe that they owe their success to their own talents and abilities rather than just luck.

Not surprisingly, those who think of themselves as the lucky ones are optimists. They believe that their luck will continue in their lives. They hardly ever waste time worrying about any difficulties that life might bring and even if it does, they are sure to deal with them successfully.
