Luck or Hard work: What matters more? (Page 2)

[TroyDT]

Except in extreme circumstances, like winning the lottery as you mentioned, hard work/working smart/perseverance are what generally create the opportunities that many people call "luck."

[jennifer_bloom]

I would say that you build good luck with hard work and succeed by exploiting the luck you have.

[Raaj4you]

I am lazy, I believe in smart work and luck. I am not a hard worker. Some people can do smart work and some people can't do it. Smart work is not for everyone. Earn more money with less efforts.

[Raaj4you]

* I save more. I spend less money, I eat less food. I am a vegan, I live a simple life. I am not a overeater and obese.

In sports usually when someone keeps talking about hard work, they get caught with doping in a few years.

[misfittoy]

[lightbulb27]

It's who you know:) that provides for luck and hard work:)!

[Googlemyahoo]

Neither

You can have a PHD but the bosses nephew whose a dropout will get the job.

Nepotism over all

As my dad says, and as I will tell my kids if I ever have any... the harder I work, the luckier I get.

You can't count on luck but you can count on hard work. People who count on luck end up as "victims".

hard work matters more in the context of the value-system a productive person would have, but luck will literally help a person more at least materialistically

even some of the most privileged/wealthy people have depression, which tells you it's not just what you have that matters, but rather how you are

for instance, I have diarrhoea, but I am still content

[Kiran_Yagami]

Even if you are lucky, your ability to capitalize on the opportunities that present themselves is dependent entirely on your work ethic. You have to hard work no matter how lucky you are.

[LindsayR07]

They go hang in hand, luck favors the bold, and the bold are rarely strangers to hard work.

[tzdc21]

Hard work no question is what's most important.

[JPresidente]

You don't see too many slackers get lucky. Hard work wins every time.

[Jennz6]

Most of the time it’s hard work, but we get lucky sometimes too like the lottery

[BLP11520]

Hard work brings me a good income, more than people think I earn. It hilariously what people think I make.. their guesses are off by a ton.

[EaterPeter]

In a state of India there is a saying which goes something like. Luck gets crippled without hard work.

[EaterPeter]

Or hardwork is useless without work?

[EaterPeter]

Any gujjus here?

[CamilleL96]

Hard work. It proves that you're willing to achieve what you want instead of just waiting for it to come to you naturally. Dedication is one of the main keys to life.
