When you are only working smart, chances of success are high if you have enough luck to turn things under your favor and working hard may only make you stronger in that field and not rich. So, according to me both aspects of working hard and smart should be taken together. Success and fortune can't just ring you door bell, its like wining a lottery ticket where chances of wining are very low. So, for achieving success and fortune one should work hard with smart brains to stay ahead of everyone in their field.

The chances of wining a lottery are really low but that's not the kind of luck I'm talking about in this thread. I'm talking about smaller luck which everyone has encountered in their life without exception at some point and most likely missed it many times throughout their life. We all have opportunities which are presented to us on a rather casual or regular basis. We miss them for different reasons, for example, because we don't see them as genuine opportunities at the moment when we meet them. Or it could be that we just don't believe in our lucky star and discard luck right away as something completely impossible, which is as stupid, if not more. This is the point which I want to highlight here.
