The hand wringing about luck can be annoying. Bringing it up is mostly useful to empathize with other people and be humble. Hard work without luck rarely works out. But luck without hard work rarely works out either (unless you're insanely lucky). Never doing anything because "luck" will guarantee you're never lucky. Use luck to be humble, use luck to empathize, use luck to build people up, but don't use luck to tear people down.
