Osgood many of us have our own good luck charms and rituals, but do they really make any difference . Can we really make our own luck . Our cover story is reported by susan spencer. Whether youre hitting the slots in vegas were going to rebuild America Running for president. Thank you everyone, god bless. Or hoping to hear your name called out at tonights emmy awards, you probably could use a little luck. They call you lady luck as emmy hosts like Neal Patrick Harris knows so well. Luck itself is beating the odds. You have the power over your destiny. Mathematician joseph mazur harnesses his luck by writing about it. He says theres a reason why people have believed in luck since the cave man days. It helps us cope with lifes uncertainties. We know the present, we know the past, but that future is really we want to be sure that we have it all under control. Many people have some lucky charm like a rabbits foot. Or whatever else gives them that elusive feeling of control. One in three americans believes that finding a penny brings good luck. One in five knocks on wood to ward off bad luck. And about that same number avoids walking under ladders. Is this nuts . There are things that you can do to increase your luck. But that implies that we have control over luck. Exactly. You think we do . I think we do, absolutely. This is good news. Yeah. Unlike the superstitious masses, writer karla starr claims to have luck down to a science, even naming her blog the science of luck. You think youre lucky. Yes, absolutely. Its that upbeat attitude that makes lucky people lucky, she says. Think positive and things will turn out that way. Lot of Research Showing that optimistic people do make their own luck because they have a higher selfesteem so theyre more likely to persist after failure. Take Actor Jon Hamm who seemed to credit luck when he won an emmy last year. There has been a terrible mistake clearly. Before he landed his starring role on mad men hamm had been acting in relative obscurity for more than a decade. He simply kept at it. All it takes is that one audition. So this is the science of luck . If were lucky it will end up being a little piece of it perhaps. For university of pennsylvania professor Michael Kearns this is what luck really looks like. This is basically a curve representing kept of representation of your pay off as a function of a probability of event. He writes algorithms designed to control luck. In investing. Many people on wall street take a pretty scientific approach to thinking about luck and to shaping their luck. Along with teaching, kearns works for a hedge fund coming up with luck shaping formulas, combining a stocks history with a clients appetite for risk. Im going to compute what the Optimal Portfolio or mixture of stocks would have been to maximize your pay off. Make me lucky. Thats right, exactly. But the science of luck goes out to window when it comes to other get rich quick schemes we love. Take the lottery, no, on second thought, dont. Your expected pay off is negative. You expect to lose your money. Youve never bought a Lottery Ticket . No. Come on. Everybody ive never bought a Lottery Ticket. Not one . No. You dont like lotteries much as an investment strategy. No, i dont. Okay, by now youre probably feeling pretty lucky with the right algorithm and alternates woman take mitch you, too, can be rich and happy, right . Not so fast. At your local book store you are may find entirely different story, like the one behind this awardwinning novel. Theres a book called fieldwork it did okay. It didnt do very well. Until it got an astonishly lucky break. Steven king walks into a book store. The steven king . He picks up this copy of a thing called field work he goes home, reads it. Thinks its wonderful. He writes for entertainment weekly. He said this is essentially hes saying this is the Great American novel. Thats probably all it took. He was a finalist for the National Book or. Talk about luck. In other words, luck is not something we control. Stuff just happens. The world in some sense is just intrinsically random. Sociologist, duncan watts, a principle researcher at microsoft, says success is mostly arbitrary. So the mona lisa is probably my favorite example of the role of luck in success. Probably the most famous painting in the world and most famous pointing painting in history. Like me, and other people going to the louvre you finally saw the mona lisa you might have been a little disbusiness pointed. You think, really . Thats what all the fuss is about . The fuss all began with a series of chance occurrences. The mona lisa really only started to get famous in the last century. It sort of sat in palaces of kings for, you know, a couple of hundred years. So what changed . This young italian who was working at the louvre was apparently disgruntled that this, you know, masterpiece that rightfully belonged in italy was sitting in france so he stole it. It became this media fiasco and really drew a lot of attention to this painting. Youre saying that absent that it might never have become famous . I suspect that ab isnt that it would never have become famous. The mona lisa got lucky. It did. But what about the actual painting. Was leonardo on to something or is the moan felicias fame just blind luck . I could do a painting. And, you know, no matter how much hype it goss, its unlikely it would be put in the same category with the mona lisa. Its not that the things that success said dont have to be good in some sense, many things are equally good and could equally have been as successful and weve never heard of any of those things. So if you could rewind the world and let luck play out again, watts says there might not ab mona lisa, or a bob dylan or harry potter. All of whom benefited from being at the right place at the right time. Theres some random accident that happens early on. And then that builds on itself and that builds on itself. And then many years later we have this huge effect that we are unable to explain except by saying this thing is unique and special. Do you think youre lucky . Oh, absolutely. Our cbs news poll found seven out of ten americans feel the same way. They are mostly lucky. And as luck would have it, that includes everyone we interview interviewed. What about you . I do think im a lucky guy . Reel glee do you consider yourself lucky . I do. Some things are just luck. Many things are just luck. Osgood coming up what a dump.

Osgood the new season on tv means a brand new season of ncis new orleans. Debuting tuesday night right here on cbs. In new orleans recently on a mercifully not so hot day, actor scott bakula was basking in the big easy where residents have welcomed him and the the cast of ncis new orleans with open arms. Theres no place where ive ever been where people are constantly saying, how do you like my city . How do you like new orleans . How do you like the city . How do you like the food . The city itself is as big a character as the special agent bakula plays. Put the gun down. Considering katrina and the subsequent years and the rebuilding, i think you feel like, yeah, everybodys rooting for new orleans and were no different. Oh, boy. He has hopped around a lot in his professional life. In the late 80s he made a career out of it as the timetraveling sam beckett in quantum leap. Anyway, here i am, bouncing around in time. Putting things right that once went wrong, sort of timetraveling lone ranger. It made him a household name and launched him on a Television Career that had him playing all sorts of roles from the captain of the starship enterprise. We still have weapons. Youre not going to get this ship without one hell of a fight. To the scuk stud on murphy brown. My spanish isnt what it used to be its a dried apricot or human ear. Neat, huh . Bakula never really relished the idea of being tv famous. You keep your private life very private . Yeah. For a hundred million years People Magazine wanted to do interviews with me at my home. I said, i cant. Where do you stop . Thats why we met him near his home at gracias madrea popular mexican restaurant. He commutes home from new orleans every weekend to spend time with his second wife, actress Chelsea Field and his four children. Youre somebody who is so wellknown and yet youre not known for your personal life. Youre not known for being in the tabloids. Youre known purely for your work. And a lot of it. Which is remarkable. Thats whats wrong with my career. You summed it up in one sentence. If it all sounds a bit nonhollywood, maybe thats because bakula didnt grow up in hollywood. He was born in the midwest, st. Louis to be exact. My dad was a hard working guy, my mom raised three kids and we grew up kind of insulated. It was at his Presbyterian Church where the acting bug bit, especially musicals. He liked singing so much, he dropped out of colle
