    hi everyone,

    I strongly believe in hard work.There is no substitute for hard work , hard work is essential to be inculcated in each and every individual. Without hard work, we don't find almost anyone in this world achieving great feats.Therefore, I strongly assert that hardwork is key to success in anyone's career.

    do u think is luck anywhere exist ............?

    Yes, where you are born and who your early relations are can be regarded as strong determinants of how your hard work will manifest.

    Today many would think they would be lucky just to find work.

    I certainly believe in hard work.

    And I also like THIS definition of "luck" : "Luck is when preparedness meets opportunity."

    Hard work alone is rarely enough. There is a world of difference between efficiency and effectiveness. Hard work can produce efficiency, but if the work is misdirected the end results will likely be disappointing. And luck, that is chance events, can certainly make the difference between success and failure.

    I do not believe in either. I just do enough to get by, and even i would be like this if my life was not destroyed by crackpots in uk gov.

    A single person only needs so much to live, and i do not want anything to do with money any more than i need to eat and sleep somewhere.

    Have no money and never will. I think this op question has to do with this. If you have no interest in money, i think neither is the answer to your question.

    Yep, most people before our generation where hard workers, and they were treated like dirt. You look at human history and it tells you how this works.

    I don't want to say you have a screwed up view of the world, so I won't.

    Raising a family successfully is hard work. The goals are not money and they are not ego.

    Developing or applying technology so that the lives of many are benefited and doing so because you want to generate that benefit has little or nothing to do with money. And it's hard work.

    Working hard for decades in some obscure field of science because it interests you is not about money and often precious little about ego.

    Don't judge others on the basis of the misintrepretation of reality you made when you were seventeen. Perhaps if you had done some hard work in your life you would not be so inclined to make ill informed comments.

    hard work should be relegated to prison gangs.
    methodical work would be a more appropriate term to use.
    remember, plan your work then work your plan.

    Having work available that is worth doing "hard" for years worth your life, is something most people will never experience.

    So is enjoying really good luck.

    The question would be how to live well with neither.
