Well, there was a time that I made a choice based on my intuition. That was really my luck and the choice I made wasn't considered as big, but my luck was so awesome that I remember it to now. So the decision was I was walking on the street with my friend and I saw an advertisement saying buying a bottle of water will make you have another bottle of water for free if you have enough luck. So I trusted myself and I went to the shop. I bought a bottle of water in the belief that that bottle of water will provide me luck and believe that I will have another bottle of water. So I felt pretty nervous because that water bottle was pretty expensive. However fortunately I had that bottle of water and I would definitely use gut feelings again not completely but I would use gut feelings like 20 or 30%.
