Working hard leads to being Luckier
Many, many years ago, I went to lunch with a friend who at the time was doing really well... I was looking for some pearls of wisdom for a quick success solution to help me out on my journey.
His reply was “Luck had a big part of it”.
At the time I was stressing day by day, looking for any sign of hope and was defeated by the answer BUT as time had gone on, I can now see what a Crucial part Luck has in Success.
In an interview in Golf Digest magazine in 2002 Gary Player presents an entertaining story about the origin of the expression:
"I was practicing in a bunker down in Texas and this good old boy with a big hat stopped to watch. The first shot he saw me hit went in the hole.
He said, “You got 50 bucks if you knock the next one in.” I holed the next one. Then he says, “You got $100 if you hole the next one.” In it went for three in a row.
As he peeled off the bills he said, “Boy, I’ve never seen anyone so lucky in my life.” And I shot back, “Well, the harder I practice, the luckier I get.”
People fail to realize the hard work and dedication that they put in for "being lucky"
Many of those lucky people have failed many times before they have obtained that success.
Like Gary said, working hard to get luckier is the key to life and the path to success.
