99% effort and 1% luck. Without that 1% luck, nobody can be successful.

"Luck" is a loose term. People can work hard, and get nowhere because they're working in the wrong direction. People who "work little" but get everything simply work in the right direction. You could press a brake pedal in a car in an effort to accelerate, and you could work you ass off and get nowhere, whereas you press the gas to accelerate and almost no effort is required.

If you roll the dice 100 times and can guess accurately 90 times, it will prove that you are lucky person

All I know is that everyone has a lucky and unlucky side. But most people focus on the unlucky side.

[ClaudioLaureano]

There is no bad luck. It's all in our minds, in how we choose to look/act in front of bad situations.

Luck is the ability to access your inner intelligence to a greater degree than most other humans, either consciously or subconsciously. Their are dimensions of human being which are usually beyond the five gross physical senses, the domain from where things like esp, precognition, psychic abilities etc stem from, and the same dimension which people like Nikola Tesla, Srinivas Ramanujan, Edgar Cayce etc tapped into. This is the secret of luck.
