Title: How much of success is luck?,How can you be succesfully lucky?
Post by: MEGAX on December 01, 2012, 09:55:23 am

I  remembered a famous quote which says  “Success is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration.”

A lot of people think that "when people succeed, it is because of hard work and that  Luck has nothing to do with success". I do not completely agree with this but it is not absolutely wrong. Let's take a look at some definition of luck.

Luck is interpreted and understood in many different ways.It is a way of understanding a personal chance event

Luck refers to that which happens to a person beyond that person's control. This view incorporates phenomena that are chance happenings, a person's place of birth for example, but where there is no uncertainty involved, or where the uncertainty is irrelevant. Within this framework one can differentiate between three different types of luck:

• Constitutional luck, that is, luck with factors that cannot be changed. Place of birth and genetic constitution are typical examples.
• Circumstantial luck - with factors that are haphazardly brought on. Accidents and epidemics are typical examples.
• Ignorance luck, that is, luck with factors one does not know about. Examples can be identified only in hindsight.

Cultural views of Luck vary from faith to superstition. For example, the Romans believed in the embodiment of Luck as the Goddess Fortuna,while the atheist Daniel Dennett believes that "luck is mere luck" rather than a property of a person or thing.
 Lucky Symbols have widespread global appeal and are represented by human, animal, botanical and inanimate objects.

For example A four-leaf clover is often considered to bestow good luck.

 Let us consider real life examples. If a student wants to pass the exams, he will have to study hard. If a worker wants to finish his work, he will also have to work hard...It is very difficult to find out a successful person who is very lazy.
Yet,you and I know countless people people who really work hard, they have never been successful.
We also know the very lazy one's who stumble into unbelievable success.Consider also this hillarious true life story


And we are left to ask ourselves;

How much of success is luck?

How much of luck brings success?

Does luck have anything to do with success?

When people succeed, it is because of hard  work?.

We may argue about luck,but one thing I am sure of is this "Nothing,absolutely nothing can take the place of hard work (Smart work + Persistence) and the harder you work the luckier you will become"

Considering the vast majority belief  that luck is bestowed by the Gods,I assured you even the gods like hard work.
