Neither luck nor necessarily talent are needed...If one wants to achieve something in life they need to have determination and WORK AT/FOR IT...

I absolutely agree. You must have the passion to do it and perseverance. Anyway, you cannot expect that you'll be success in just one blink of an eye. Failures may come, but that doesn't mean that it just ends there. Use that failure or mistake as an experience not a disaster, so that next time you try again, you can come up to a better idea and reach your goal. Asks God's guidance so that He may guide you in your every decision..

You need a bit of both. If you're talented in something, it's easier for you to find work in that particular area. But you'll need some luck to get notice. You could be the best person in that particular field, but if you don't know anyone who can get you ahead, then it's all for naught. If you just have luck with no real talent in anything, then you'll just have tons of opportunities, but probably won't be making as much money as others (unless, of course, your luck transfers over to picking lottery numbers (=p)). Of course, you can work hard to achieve anything you want. But some times you can give everything you're all and still end up nowhere. So having some luck and talent helps a lot.

First of all you need to work really hard at whatever you want to achieve and next you need to have faith and patience.Also a spirit of optimism is necessary to reach your goal.I think a combination of all this will definitely bring you good luck and help you attain what you aspire for in your life.All the best!

if you want to achieve something, you need to work hard for it. but if you just sit down in a corner and wait for your luck, nothing will happen. hi, fedoralinux! not all talented people are successful. if you've got the talent but you're not using it well, you won't improve it and won't mean a thing. the WILL TO SUCCEED is much more important than luck. it can also be called a MOTIVATION. stay motivated and work hard if you want to achieve something no matter what it is. if you've got a luck in lottery and you don't buy any ticket, how do you expect to win?

HI! Luck is only the bonus to achieve something in life. talent is more important, but it is not the most important one. The most important thing, if you want to achieve something is the will! If you have no will to do something even the biggest talent won't help you!

Talent can be something that is needed to achieve for life. Either you have the ability to do something or you do not. Work can achieve something. I do not believe in luck personally. Everything happens because someone has worked at it. They have the talent, the ability, but luck is not involved. Everything that occurs happens for a reason.

I don't think either is needed. All that is needed, in my opinion, is true honest hard work. It had done wonders for me and I don't have luck nor talent. You yourself make what you want to be. Only you can control that.
