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.
You know you can’t tell that those who have been working for long and succeed in their businesses are only dependent on their hard work and efforts. For sure they also prayed for luck that will favor whatever their decisions they made in their business. And when both luck and efforts are combined, that will attract more positive vibes so that success could easily come in. I guess that’s why Chinese businessmen are very successful when it comes to business because they always let their luck and efforts work together to create high chances for success.
