A Stroke of Luck

The phrase “You are so lucky.” often comes our way. But one cannot exclude hard work and say it is only a lucky factor. We also hear, “The harder you work, the luckier you get.” Unfortunately, luck does not manifest the same way for everyone.

The nature of luck is beyond our control while hard work remains in our control. Striking the balance between luck and hard work might just be the pathway to achieving sustainable success. After all, success often thrives at the intersection where hard work meets opportunity.

Separating luck from hard work might oversimplify a complex equation of success. Having said that, we can't deny we all hope for the occasional stroke of luck.
