Do you believe in luck?

    Lot of people think there is nothing as luck; everything is achievable by hard work. From my experience I have seen many times no matter how hard I work I am destined to something different.

    Do you believe in luck?

    In gambling, luck is a real variable that can change your life...and that can go two ways

    I do believe luck. But in my own definition.
    Luck : something good that God gives you even you don't notice. Some kinda the answers of your pray.

    Don't really believe in it, but if it exists I only have the luck to have been born in a free country and not poor/homeless/diseased, ect.

    I've lived my life on a simple principle: 95% - consistent hard work on an objective, 5% luck. :D

    The type of energy you emit to the universe is the same that you attract back. If you truly believe in something you will get it, it's the basic law of attraction and the secret to get anything you've ever wanted. Those that don't understand this effect call it luck.

    I always believe in God's blessings. Everything that is given to you is from God. But you still need to work for it...

    I really believe in luck, but i recognize it as a blessing from God, or i should say incentive from our Lord, the important thing is that we must not depend on luck, we must do some work, a really hard work!

    i don't think it works all the time, when gambling you don't do such a lot of works, you just wish a tons of luck!

    I believe in luck, but I saw many books and scientis telling that there is no luck, that we are all making our destiny but I don't think it's so simple (there is luck and badluck, or "good time at good place" as well as "wrong place at wrong time"), so I think there might be luck, but not rellying on it :D
    In lottery, there is luck indeed, but may be also in the job, when co-insidences makes you great deal, so in fact it is luck :D

    for example, if I get good question on exams, that will be luck :)

    Well, yes you can achieve everything (almost) with really hard work, but a lot of people undervalue luck. Watch movie Match Point you'll get my point. A lot of things depend on luck.
