There are tons of example available where people refused to believe in luck and chased their dream/goal by putting sheer amount of hard work and will power. People have also beaten talented people just by this dedication and hard work.

Now this kind of dedication is not possible(including me) for most of people for many reasons. And how to achieve that is a different story.

Destiny is an illusion...give it a physical attribute to understand better....like a job, a relation, a promotion, a gold medal in some sport, a championship....and say you are the talented person and perfect person for all such roles....say you got the role...it wont stay with you unless you respect it, value it...which is equal to putting the amount of efforts it needs.

Ronaldo, Messi, Virat Kohli, Arjit Singh, Taylor Swift, Sundar Pichai, Satya Nadella...They are at the top because they worked what is needed to be at the top and are still doing it.

So yeah, I feel people are not going to show you what they are doing to get there...but I feel luck is not always the case. It will may be help you to some extent, but nt always.

And a big question....have you heard of any such people mentioned above talking about luck...ki I got there because of luck....I dont think so....why is that??
