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.

Well, in this case, conditions like that can still happen, but on the other hand, talking about looking for opportunities beforehand, I might focus on this because of course we also have to be aware that I won't mention that it was luck, but the result of the hard work that he had previously built.
You said that your brother has a high spirit of hard work and when he gets a big project and succeeds there it is not luck but the result he has learned from previous hard work.
I was often told by my parents "what you plant is what you pick" in this case I actually think that is what was meant. when you are lazy then indeed success will not come by itself, even though it may exist but the ratio is very small and it can only be counted on fingers. but it's different from us looking for and taking advantage of all the momentum with continuous effort, so indirectly we go straight to the success that comes our way.

Anyone who had succeed out specially into those casual physical offline or physical business then it does really indeed able to require that soo much hardwork and effort that had been made.Yes,it could really be mixed up with some luck but its not only the main factor which would really be able to make you a successful businessman/entrepreneur or whatever you've been dealing with if you arent really that wise on making decisions.It just turns out that there are people who do just keeping on saying that default thing that they were lucky.

Yes, there's a point into that but those are just sliding up the conversation because once people would usually be speaking into this kind of topic, they do usually be ending up on asking on how they have
done it literally or simply be asking on what are the methods or ways they have done which are supposed to be private or some sort. Therefore, it do really ends up on speaking about
being lucky because they do assume out on where this talks would usually be falling on and for sure it would really be falling down into the situation that i had mentioned above.
