I'm sure this question must have crossed your mind several times, these really successful people, do they get to these high positions by luck or do they deserve that high net worth? If you've been wondering about this, then trust me, you're not on your own. Every once in a while everyone contemplates it.

But let's talk about what most successful people have to say about been lucky - Most very rich people will tell you the same thing ***the harder you work, the luckier you get***. Most say that what you need the most in achieving success is discipline, you need to be able to make yourself do what you're supposed to do.

The fact is that you probably know how to become rich, even right now. But when you think about the hard work required, you probably get scared. Most people know this truth, if you give your work more time and dedication, good things will happen, but they're just too reluctant or lazy to do so.

Those that make it to the top 5% are those that don't hesitate, but have the discipline to take the right actions when the time arrives. Most successful people say that if luck was all that's needed, then why don't you go play the lottery, and see what the odds are against you. They'll tell you that they got rich by taking calculated risks.

Taking calculated risks, is very different from been flat lucky. The more a basket baller practices throwing the ball into the basket, the higher the tendency that anytime he throws it, it will get into the basket - and he'll get lucky. It's always the harder to work, practice, and learn - the luckier you get. Most successful people simply outwork everyone else.

Thanks for reading. If you have any contribution, kindly drop it in the comment section below. Bye for now!!!

One thing I have grown up to believe is luck does not exist. I don't believe anybody need luck to succeed. I only believe people need to follow the principles to achieve success

I like that believe system of yours - because one cannot choose to be lucky, so why believe in it in the first place. Better to do things that have been known to bring success. Thanks for commenting.

A little bit of luck and a little bit of hardwork. When you keep working hard for a long time, you are more likely to get lucky...sorry, blessed.

I agree with you. Like the popular saying, the harder you work the luckier you get. Thanks for commenting.

I really believe that great opportunities crosses everyone's path from time to time, but while others make good use of the opportunity to build a good financial standard for themselves, others waste the time.

After some years, those who utilized the opportunity appropriately are considered lucky while others are considered unlucky.

You're right. The difference between men mostly is how they utilized the opportunities that came their way. Thanks for commenting.
