About This Quote
The Yoruba people believe in the idea that good and bad luck are dependent on the state of your mind. Bad luck is a result of negative thoughts, while good luck is a result of positive thinking. In other words, if you have a positive mindset you will have good luck. If you have a negative mindset, it is very likely that you will have bad luck.
A classic example of this is the idea that a poor man who has a lot of money is a bigger fool than a rich man who lacks money. If a poor man has money, he is saved from being an idiot and can focus on being smart instead of being stupid. A poor man can afford to be smart and still have money.
