What's more crucial to success: Hard work or luck

[Jalether]

Been born to the right family: The heir's and heiresses of billionaires and multimilionaires will have an
extremely hard time to piss away their inheritance/families wealth

Knowing the right people and networking is far more important in the corporate world, especially as a fresh
undergraduate than almost anything else well apart from what university you graduated from which more often than not is dependent on been born into an Ivy league legacy family, the luck of having a parent with enough resurces to donate/buy your way into one of the top schools, just ask Jared kushner

Over 70 percent of new businesses fail and I refuse to believe that all those 70 percent of failed businesses is a result of laziness.

So for every rag to riches success stories, there are 4 stories of wealth inheritance and continuation of family successful legacy

Hard work is important for sucess, atleast for maintaining it but I will argue that luck is more important.

Relationships

Soft skills

 

[L&HH]

Luck is when preparation meets opportunity.

 

[JLova]

Work smart, not hard. Luck is very important.

 

[Koba St]

None of it matters cos 99% of the population will lead average lives regardless of how hard you work

 

[42 Monks]

You can work hard and be dumb as hell too if you can't recognize an opportunity, then it doesn't matter what you do

 

[KidJSoul]

Luck matters when it comes to being born in a war torn country or being born with a debilitating birth defect or disease.

Aside from that, the rest is hard work, and being street smart.

 

[BushidoBrown]

Luck is when preparation meets opportunity.

Boom

additionally, i gotta presume that a combo of working hard + working smart is undefeated in the long run

 

[Sccit]

A COMBINATION OF INTELLIGENCE AND WILL

LUCK AINT SHIIT IF U DONT KNO HOW TO MOVE

 

[™BlackPearl The Empress™]

Hard work. Everyone who pulled themselves up did it via hard work.

Luck matters when it comes to being born in a war torn country or being born with a debilitating birth defect or disease.

Aside from that, the rest is hard work, and being street smart.

So over 70 percent of new businesses failing within the first 2 years is due to not working hard or smart

Those who lost their fortune and in other cases homes in the 2007 financial crisis is due to laziness

Those who grew up poor and had no access to quality education which affected their employment opportunity in the future and are knee deep in debt and bad credit score by the time they are adult is due to laziness

Those who are not earning enough money and have no capital to start any business ventures because banks won't grant them loans and are literally not exposed to any real opportunity to succeed in life are just lazy?

Good fortune. Slave work hard and barely reap the benefits.

 

[The Mad Titan]

Success isn't related to financial status imo.

But if you mean what is more crucial in getting you financial security it's soft skill, tact, and intelligence.

Even if you aren't the sharpest, having tact and common sense can get you really really far.



Luck is just that, random chance. But what you luck upon depends on the position you put yourself in.

Getting lucky because you invested in the right company or getting lucky you didn't OD, or get robbed while out partying are both random, but you position yourself in that situation for it to happen.

 

[Disclosure]

Luck. If "hard work" was worth a fukk then day laborers would be millionaires.
