Recently I have had numerous reunions with Uncles from my extended family. Some of them are successful businessmen for decades. They built their business from nothing and are living quite a comfortable life now. We had long conversations about life in general, including their key to success. I knew very well that they have been hard workers ever since I had a memory so I would contribute their success to endless efforts. However, one thing they had mentioned in common was luck. They believe pure luck made them meet and grasp those opportunities and become successful rather than their smartness and efforts. I've thought about this before and couldn't agree with this more. They've set very good examples to me, including my father, and now I tend to focus more on work itself consistently and let luck or fate takes the rest.
Even if you do everything right, sometimes you have to be in the right place at the right time. Sometimes you come to the right time and the right place thanks to your luck. Actually, I can't call it luck because it is destiny. Fate makes its plan for us and we live our lives according to our choices. That's why we hope that there are things in our destiny that will make us feel lucky.
Yes, others call it luck, but there are people who are in the right place at the right time and that is opportunity. So we should really strive for the best and work out ass of if we wanted to be successful. Don't rely on luck alone, it will not be on our sides all the time.
It's good to go to school, but they will not teach everything specially the art of making money. We need to discover it ourselves and when we find the formula for success then we stick to it. Again, it's the opportunity that will present itself, and we need to grab it.
