Richmond Dinh recounts a personal anecdote about winning a watch in a raffle at a private party hosted at Arnold Schwarzenegger's home. He reflects on luck as something you create or attract by focusing on positive expectations — claiming repeated raffle wins and arguing that belief and focus shape one’s perceived reality.

Some people are born lucky, and some people have to create their own luck. I believe that the more luck you believe that you have, the more luck you will get in your life. This is a picture of me and Arnold Schwarzenegger. I actually was lucky enough to get an invitation to his private home for a private party at that event. It's a really funny story. I had won this watch. Here is the watch I'm wearing there, through a raffle that they had at his event. Now, it's a funny thing with raffles, because every time I get into a raffle, I actually win. And why do I believe what contributed to me continually winning raffles and getting luck like this? Because I believe that luck just comes to me. The old saying about be careful what you wish for. I believe that's true. Because if you keep on thinking that bad things are going to happen, then bad things will happen. If you keep on thinking great things are going to happen, then great things will happen. Now, overall, am I luckier than the average person? Probably not, but because it's what I focus on, so that's what I perceive, and that's what becomes my reality. So what you focus on is what you get.
