The term "Luck" depends on how far Allah supports your efforts and gain success.You just have to do the best and let success for Allah's will where you have the sincere intend.

Yes I believe in Luck. It does not mean that you do nothing and wait for luck to come. Surely you will  work hard but hard work is not a guarranty of success. So you can never ignore luck.

Everything has a logical explanation even luck, but the term luck is the short cut explanation of what events occurred, whether that be good or bad.

to have “luck” or “karma”, you have to work hard for it , you have more chance of being successful if you actually work hard (research, action, responsive plans, creating etc) as opposed to sitting at home and doing nothing...waitting for “luck” or “karma”, and wondering why you dont a successful career.

I feel It,s all about Karma.If some thing is there in your luck/desiny you will start your karma to get you destiny by god grace.

I remember below from one of our great writer

Both is front and back wheel of cycle for an instance .Luck is front wheel and karma is back wheel.

if you do real hard work on back wheel by hard padelling with back luck front wheel still can go in a

hole.

Thus finally we can say both is needed for your success as if you have still something in your destiny

still person has to work hard to get in .It,s all about your hard work in correct direction.

No. I don't believe in "luck".  If I believe in luck, I'll just to go a casino and bet all my money because I know I'll be "lucky" and win my bet.  

 

But as far as any career goes, Luck does not apply (well at least not to me).  I believe that I need to work hard for what I want to achieve.  I don't believe or take any handouts.  I want to prove to myself and my family that I can survive and I am able to get and achieve good things in life by working hard.  It also sets a good example for my (future) children to follow.

For having a successful career, my experience & philosophy says it is a combination of both with variation in proportion from person to person or case to case basis.

For eg.-

Luck = X% & Karma = Y%

Provided that :

X + Y =100 

X>0 & Y>0

It means that if Luck is less, more Karma is required and if Luck is more, less Karma is required.

For me the persons who have higher IQ levels are the luckiest people because they can easily find, select and avail good opportunities.  

On Contrary some people increase their IQ and abilities by keep learning new things and they get success becase of their consistant efforts, this is called Karma.
