Should You Change Your Name?

Before deciding to change your name, it's important to understand how names fit into the bigger picture of luck and destiny.

The Three Types of Luck

Heaven's Luck (33%)

Genes, innate traits, physical features (height, bone structure)

Earth's Luck (33%)

Environment, location, opportunities

Man's Luck (33%)

Personal effort, choices, names

Understanding Name's Impact

Your name is just one component of Man's luck, accounting for approximately 10-15% of your total luck. While important, it's not the sole determining factor of your destiny.

Example Scenario

Consider two software engineers:

  • Engineer A has an average name but works in Silicon Valley (superior Earth's luck)
  • Engineer B has a lucky name but works in a region with fewer opportunities

Engineer A might experience better overall fortune due to the powerful influence of environment (Earth's luck), despite having a less auspicious name.

Alternative Approaches

Instead of changing your name, consider these potentially more impactful changes:

  • Improve Earth's Luck:
    • Relocate to areas with better opportunities
    • Change your work or study environment
    • Surround yourself with positive influences
  • Enhance Man's Luck:
    • Develop better habits and work ethic
    • Improve social skills and network more
    • Adopt a more positive attitude
Important Considerations
  • Name changes in later life may have reduced effectiveness
  • The process requires significant effort and adjustment
  • Names alone don't determine fate
Balanced Perspective

While names can influence our lives, they shouldn't be overestimated or underestimated. Consider a name change as part of a broader strategy for improvement, not as a magical solution.
