उत्तर

There are many who believe luck is important and one may find many such who believe in hard work. It is not thought that those who believe in luck do not work hard. It is just that they believe in “do your best and God will do the rest, However, there are those who completely blame their fate for everything and do not do anything to change or improve it. Still, there are people that believe that hard work is greater than luck and that it has the power to change destiny. One may find various beliefs around them and it depends on what they chose to believe in.
