Scientists say that water constitutes 70% of human body. Of course a quantum physicist would argue that 99.99% of our bodies is nothing but empty space. But I guess whatever is left out from that empty space, 70% of that is water.

From a great skin to fat loss, the benefits of drinking adequate water are universally known. I am not going to harp on the benefits of drinking sufficient water every day. There is enough information on the Internet and hundreds of books have already been written, read and forgotten on this subject.

In this post I am going to share my finding based on a 3-months long personal experiment to increase my daily water intake.

According to one scientific study you should drink 0.033 of a litre of water per day for every kilogram of bodyweight. So if you weigh 65 kg, that is 65 * 0.033 = 2.145 litre of water per day. But that’s bare minimum.

A wise man once said “I am a great believer in luck. The harder I work, luckier I get.”

I am sure you’ve heard of this saying a number of times in the past. It’s usually quoted by those who belong to the meritocratic school of thought which says, “If you’re good, you don’t need luck.”

If you’re successful it’s a natural human tendency to assume the credit for your success. After all you must have worked hard for it and you surely deserve it. But when I think of my life, I have seen and met many individuals who always worked harder and yet they sadly remain unsuccessful.

Goes with saying that I have also met those who achieved great heights with significantly less effort. These are the people who manage to attract much more than their fair share of luck. Usually we look down on such people with disdain. It’s assumed that any success founded on element of luck is inherently undeserving.

Do you know someone who always manages to find himself in the right place at the right time? Before you label him as lucky, ask yourself – do you think his luck is out of pure randomness? May be he has a knack for reaching to the right place at the right time.
