How much of success is luck?,How can you be succesfully lucky?.

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:

1. Constitutional luck, that is, luck with factors that cannot be changed. Place of birth and genetic constitution are typical examples.
2. Circumstantial luck - with factors that are haphazardly brought on. Accidents and epidemics are typical examples.
3. 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

A REALLY Bad Day - True Story!

A REALLY Bad Day

So you think you're having a bad day. The following is taken from a Florida newspaper:

A man was working on his motorcycle on his patio and his wife was in the house in the kitchen. The man was racing the engine on the motorcycle and somehow, the motorcycle slipped into gear. The man, still holding the handlebars, was dragged through a glass patio door and the motorcycle dumped onto the floor inside the house.

The wife, hearing the crash, ran into the dining room, and found her husband laying on the floor, cut and bleeding, the motorcycle laying next to him and the patio door shattered. The wife ran to the phone and summoned an ambulance.

Because they lived on a fairly large hill, the wife went down the several flights of long steps to the street to direct the paramedics to her husband. After the ambulance arrived and transported the husband to the hospital, the wife uprighted the motorcycle and pushed it outside. Seeing that gas had spilled on the floor, the wife obtained some papers towels, blotted up the gasoline, and threw the towels in the toilet.

The husband was treated at the hospital and was released to come home. After arriving home, he looked at the shattered patio door and the damage done to his motorcycle. He became despondent, went into the bathroom, sat on the toilet and smoked a cigarette. After finishing the cigarette, he flipped it between his legs into the toilet bowl while still seated.

The wife, who was in the kitchen, heard a loud explosion and her husband screaming. She ran into the bathroom and found her husband laying on the floor. His trousers had been blown away and he was suffering burns on the buttocks, the back of his legs and his groin. The wife again ran to the phone and called for an ambulance.

The same ambulance crew was dispatched and the wife met them at the street. The paramedics loaded the husband on the stretcher and began carrying him to the street. While they were going down the stairs to the street accompanied by the wife, one of the paramedics asked the wife how the husband had burned himself. She told them and the paramedics started laughing so hard, one of them tipped the stretcher and dumped the husband out.
He fell down the remaining steps and broke his ankle!

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.

Barr,Ab.I love the man who can smile in trouble, gather strength from distress and grow brave by reflection. A strong imagination begetteth opportunity.
And a good oppoortunity when properly explore leads to success.which brings satisfaction in to the explorer of the opportunity.
But Satisfaction lies in the effort, not in the attainment.And full effort is full victory which look like luck but not it.
So,0.1% of success is luck after all some Lucky people went into eternity with possibilities that was not a reality,which lead to thier not being successful.
And 0% of luck brings success.why,because there are some lucks that are detrimental to peoples success.
luck has nothing to do with success,But Favour has.
What you sow is what you reap.so when people succeed,it is either because of Hard work or Smart work.

I like you Article sir,,,,keep going.

best regards....
