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.

I don't think so, the luck factor is indeed one of the important factors for us to be successful but it doesn't rule out the possibility that we can also be successful without it, the point is if we are diligent in trying to work hard not being lazy staying consistent with what we do I'm sure we can become successful people . because success is only for worthy people
Although there are indeed many cases where people suddenly become rich and successful due to luck. But such cases are very rare and rarely encountered in everyday life. And I agree that in the end what can get us closer to the chances of success is Hard Work, Consistency, Discipline and never being lazy to learn and work more.

because in reality more successful people have life stories that they start with hard work and keep going without ever giving up even though they often experience failure. Because sometimes failure is a lesson and can also be said to be a delayed success.
