Thanks Yads -

That's an interesting twist that hadn't occurred to me -- superstitions. I think when we label something a superstition, we're denoting it as irrational. Yet, clearly, if you're consciously doing something because you see the action as related to the outcome of an unrelated event -- you're trying to influence the event.

I don't think most people believe that "luck" is something you can influence. I think they believe that it's something you "tap into", or that you're a victim of.
