That’s all though?

Luck, timing, hard work are also involved. But depends on your definition of “success.”

Luck is a factor? Success is achieving your goal

Who invented the light bulb? Thomas Edison, right?

American-British inventor Hiram Maxim tried to patent a light bulb at nearly the same time as Edison, but Maxim's patent was not granted by the U.S. Patent Office until July 1880.

I wanna believe in luck as a poker player, but she is a fickle bitch lol

If Lady Luck is against me, am I doomed?

“I am a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work, the more I have of it” - Thomas Jefferson

Solid quote! But, is he saying he only got lucky because he worked hard?

While often seen as separate concepts, "luck" and "hard work" are generally considered complementary, with the idea that hard work can increase your chances of encountering fortunate circumstances, essentially creating your own luck by being prepared when opportunities arise; meaning success usually comes from a combination of both factors.

How much effort would you say someone should spend trying to cultivate luck in relation to how hard they work? And, what if someone just feels like they’re an unlucky person? Sorry to push back so much. I love this topic.

I have no idea 😬

Haha, it’s tough to factor the luck part, but I think believing is the key that unlocks that door

It’s definitely easier to give up I’d say, but there’s surely more to it
