Believing only on luck is like deceiving yourself on your own.

Luck is something, but not everything. A person can shape his destiny as a wise man said,

Man is the architect of his destiny.

The secret of success in life lies in the title of the story. A man gets nothing without having strong determination and performing challenging work. A human is incapable of accomplishing anything unless he works hard for it. Believing firmly in fortune and sitting idle is not a good option; it can never fetch success. Willpower, resolution, and efforts demanding actions can bring success. High goals can only be fulfilled by appreciating moves rather than waiting for something to happen on its own because of luck. There is a famous quote explaining the above discussion:

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

Before initiating any task, whether it is big or small, we pray to God for his blessings, but everyone must understand that hard work and determination are necessary, too. Only prayers cannot receive the blessings of God; God is delighted by struggle and perseverance, and he always gives rewards for all actions and efforts with success. If you are devoted to achieving a dream with a strong heart and put in all necessary effort then God offers you the fruits of all your exertions. Some people trust God with everything and hope for the best without doing anything. However, one must not forget that,

God helps those who help themselves.

What you speak does not matter at all; the thing that creates a difference is what you do. Anyone can say anything, but only those people achieve something big who desire it with challenging jobs and consistency. Believing in destiny and sitting idle is a stupid choice. Expecting from the divinity of God for success suits better after one strives for it. The history books are rich with examples where people properly mold their fate in the best possible way. Fatalism is a threatening thing both for peace of mind and human concord. If a person believes that there is an absolute fortune behind everything that happens, then he may lose his enthusiasm for doing challenging tasks. A man who believes purely in luck cannot be successful in any field of life. There is a well-known quotation:

I am a strong believer in luck; the harder I work the more I have of it.

All the remarkable personalities gain conquest in their ambition with untiring actions. A common thing many people do is that if they see a successful person, they say he is lucky and got all this because of his fate, but people never see the hard work behind his success; they never count all the nights the successful person stayed awake to get it. The specific traits that a successful person may have are drive, discipline, perseverance, stability, bravery, devotion, integrity, and optimism, all of which are better forecasters of victory. Such successful people get energized by failure instead of accepting that defeat has already been written in their destiny. A clear objective and a dream to change lives for the better drive people to achieve success.

Fate does exist, but it favors the individuals who do hard work with patience and diligence. Bad luck exists too, but a person can overcome it through strenuous actions. The great men in history gained supremacy in their purpose with untiring exertions, so it is a widely accepted truth that a person cannot reach his goals without hard work. Sitting inactive and waiting for luck to come is the wrong approach because successful people do not only rely on the magic of luck. Confidence, determination, and desire to achieve something positive in life come from the heart and mind, and such aim is achieved by challenging work, not by fate.

The conclusion of the discussion is that a man must cultivate strong willpower and an optimistic perspective toward life. A man must specify some goals suiting his natural aptitudes and capacities and then use all the sources, such as physical energy, strength, willpower, etc., to attain them. If a man adopts such an approach, then God will surely help. Your chances of evolving as a successful person can increase as you take more shots, ultimately. Acclaim luck and believe in creating your possibilities to succeed by working hard, reaping the benefits it brings, and making your fate.

Diligence is the mother of good luck.
