Picking up a penny may not make you
wealthier, What is the value in smelling a rose? What is the value in walking 'around' rather than under a ladder? And, what, for gosh sakes, is the value in roasting a marshmallow, keeping a promise or reading a poem? It has been proven to us at PennyPickerUpper.com time and time again, that people who pick up pennies are luckier than people who do not pick up pennies. Of course, we don't believe in luck. We simply believe that opportunities present themselves to people who are observant, in-tune with their surroundings, and open to the possibility of happiness in their world. Finding and picking up a penny is a little message to you that you are on the right track in life. It all boils down to the penny picker-upper, 'glass half full', happy people of the world versus the penny snubbing, 'glass half empty', unhappy people of the world. Who would you rather be? The choice is yours. And it is truly that: a choice. One is not born a penny picker-upper or a penny snubber. It is the epitome of nurture, or learned behavior, over nature. And because it is a choice, penny snubbers can always change. We welcome all penny snubbers here at PennyPickerUpper.com because they are the penny picker-uppers of the future.
