Taking a particular context from one of the motivational books this is an example on How far does luck play a role in success? In this\u00a0particular incident How far does luck play a role in success<\/span><\/em>?<\/strong><\/p>\n

A King has to arbitrate and decide that who between the two scholars is right; the one favoring only luck, or the other holding that hard work leads to success. So the King calls both in court, hears them out, and gives one pumpkin to the first one, and two gold coins to the second scholar. Now the idle one believing that a mere pumpkin bore no luck for him sold it to the diligent scholar for one coin. When the buyer cuts it to prepare the dish, he discovers 50 gold coins hidden in the pumpkin. The next day, King summons both. Well ,the first one says, that he is lucky to get one gold coin in exchange of one \u2019useless pumpkin\u2019, whereas the second scholar thanks the king, for enabling him to get\u00a0 51 gold coins which he had duly invested in business was already on verge of getting rich and successful. And friends, the fellow believing in luck alone, sat alone cursing the spell of \u2018bad luck.\u2019<\/p>

Now may be the second scholar was really lucky, who bought the pumpkin, or he was clever, or a compassionate man who perhaps took pity and gave his friend a coin. Most possibly, a combination of all the virtues; and man, this ensures success, not the factor of luck alone.<\/p>\n
