"Luck favours the strong" a loser would say to keep his ego intact. However, the winners would disagree since they are aware of the steps and struggle that lead them to victory. Hence, luck is often misinterpreet for coincidense or even opportunity; history and simple reasoning, though, guides to the true power of intense work.
Mark Spitz, Gandhi and einstein were passionate with their activities ( not just the ones concerning their field) and this love for life guided them to "miraculous" achievements. The passion for them was a great feelinf fulfilment and dynamic creativity but for the outsider they were hectic people with great anxiety. Then as this fruitful work and intense preparation was starting to draw attention opportunities were showing up one after the other and the progress was acceleraring. Einstein begun from a young age to discuss with many people interested in his work and knowledge. This mutual relationships progressed his quest in science and life even further. Now we start to see that success is more involved with our social skills and hard work rather with some supernatural force.
Even the so called "big" ideas from the idea of finding india by going perpedincular to turning the other cheek have some steps that led to them ;some conditions that fostered them. These ideas were developed from an intensive research which led them to many observations and even absurd ideas. Now ,of course, we can even consider the subconscious incubation as a factor to success but not luck.
Even the ideal conditions that led to success are a product of our preparation and work. Bill Gate's success with the windows operator came to be with his observation that computers was an upcoming field. He just went to a potential field with many opportunities. But his hard work and determination ensured him a giant bussiness named Microsoft. The understanding of economical and at general life's cycles can lead us to the right conditions.
Luck is just an excuse for the weak that replaces the motivation for learning their mistakes and working intense to reform them with complaint. I believe luck must be excluded from our vocabulary,if we trully desire success.
