    Hi Friends,
    Some people believe in LUCK and some in HARD WORK. What do u think… what is important to live a dreamy life or what counts in life, LUCK or HARD WORK..??

    I would go for both Luck and Hard work, from observing,experience and my dad's advice. Some people die working hard and have no luck. Some people have luck , yet they don't try it.

    My dad says , God gives us a chance to give to others, by an opportunity to give us a good luck with our hard work, So have a hand downward to give(If you are able to), not up front to take. God has made us a path to help those who work hard and have no luck. Once you become selfish, then you never know that this chance might be taken from you by God.

    I think that everything we accomplish is 75% hard work and 25% luck

    That is a very deep topic.:) Ahh... you should never just count on luck, sure some people get lucky but with enough drive and motivation we are sure to succeed and even surpass our goals in life.

    So I guess I would say Hard Work is the best way to go about things.;)

    The harder you work, the luckyer you get. The same thing with sports. The better you get the more luck you have.

    Hardwork is the road to success. Luck is hard to come by and does not always comes our way.

    Hard work is important, but recognising the opportunities to put that work into is also important. Having the right thought processes and outlook about the fact that you will have success (whatever that means to you) is half the battle- then the rest is taking the appropriate action- right then and now!

    And what about fate?
    All your life can be changed by one incident, and luck has nothing to do with it, because luck depends on your own deeds, and this is just fate, your destiny... Do you believe in this?

    a combination with some added intelligence/smartness would do wonders.

    The harder I work the luckier I get. Not original but I can't remember who said it.
