One thing more
I wanna share with all of you lovable guys.

LUCK IS THE TIME WHEN PREPARATION AND OPPORTUNITY BOTH CORRELATE WITH THEMSELVES.

THANK you ?

In reply to Chris. I'd love to but I am not an agent, so that isn't my area of expertise. A lot depends on your work, your genre and which path you want to go.

In reply to Kerri. I enjoy your blog and admire the way you answer people' question. Keep it up. Please, can you be so gracious as to introduce me to a publisher? I have works of fiction I wants to have published but to no avail because I don't know the right people to approach. Thanks as I await your response.

I definitely think it’s a mix of both. But like you said, luck isn’t going to help you if you don’t have the skills/preparation/work ethic to back it up. You might be able to get by (or even do really well!) on luck for awhile, but eventually it’s going to run out. A bunch of people have also answered this question on StoryShelter, which you might be intersted in terms of online trends and personal storytelling. https://www.storyshelter.com/question/good-luck-vs-hard-work

My father worked hard all his life and in the end had little to show for it. My parents lived a very simple life as well. As for myself I followed that same step and now that I’m retired I live on the edge of poverty.
My father once told me that if you’re born a nickle you’ll always remain a nickle even if you aspire to become more. It’s like a class system that you are born in there is very little you can do to change that, I know because I’ve tried desperately.

Luck is certainly more important but it is not the causal link that we crave, hence we overweight the importance of hard work (or any other suitable causal quality) to create that causal link between the chance events that occur in our lives and their results.

I believe in luck as your friend Cara said that a lot of undeserving people enjoys success and those who bust their buts gets nothing. As a Christian, I know that luck is biblical as it is written in Ecclesiastes 9:11

“I have seen something else under the sun:

The race is not to the swift
or the battle to the strong,
nor does food come to the wise
or wealth to the brilliant
or favor to the learned;
but time and chance happen to them all.”
