It’s luck and hard work usually. Sometimes folks get lucky. Sometimes hard work alone pays off. Usually you need both for big success.
False dichotomies are lazy.
- gtmb 5y agoHard work is a type of luck. There are two types of luck. One just happens. Like just walking down the street and you find 5 dollar on the curb. That's like what country you were born, may makes things easier or harder for you. The second type of luck you have to buy a ticket to get a chance to win. Like the lottery, you can only win if you buy a ticket. That is your hard work, education etc. It enables you to be in the lucky draw and/or increases your chances, but still not guaranteed.
- iKlsR 5y agoYou're right! I recently landed a big client because I had done some work with them while working with an agency when in between jobs and their relationship fell through. They contacted me and being a fs dev (years of exp) I was able to pretty much take on all their work and eventually formed my own company around this.
