The phrase it's better to be lucky than good must be one of the most ridiculous homilies ever uttered. In nearly any competitive endeavor, you have to be damned good before luck can be of any use to you at all.
~ Garry Kasparov
A lot of people don't see the obstacles, struggles, and challenges that come as payments for success, that's why they tend to see successful people as individuals who are very lucky in life.
