LUCK OR LABOUR

The desired world never comes, however, all people follow it and they have to end up their life without residing in that world. Everybody knows that the world of fantasy is unachievable because it does not exist in reality. The thought of utopian living has emerged in the human being from the very beginning of its civilization. All the living beings like to have their happy and romantic life. No one tries to be indulged in the world of misery and sorrow. Getting success in life is also a very vast thing to be elaborated. Perhaps, the crystal clear definition of ‘success’ has not been made yet; moreover, trying to define it in saturated way is also like chasing a wild goose. First of all, the term itself is vague as no wise guy can claim that he has achieved this or that much amount of success. It cannot be quantified, neither measured! In reality the more success you get, the more unachievable you feel. Your thirst of getting success never finishes until you are finished up.
Most of the people think that the key to success depends on your labour/hard work. The number of people advocating luck is also not less. They claim that whatever happens, happens because of your luck. They can easily convince you in each and every event of your success or failure. For example: you are a candidate for a job. Suppose you are selected, and they would say you, “Congratulation! You are a lucky person.” They never consider that you were capable enough to get that job. One the other hand, if you lose the job they say that you were not fortunate for attaining that kind of achievement. So it becomes very difficult to come out from the world of this dilemma on whether luck or labour is dominant to get success. As most of the middle-thinkers argue that labour and luck are not the thoughts to be considered as binary concepts. They should never be put in either…or condition since the chances of the coexistence is always higher. Precisely telling, your desired goal can be achieved only when you are both industrious and fortunate. These two facets of success cannot work independently. One who wants to get success must be laborious and lucky.
If this is the fact then, is it possible to have both of them i.e. luck and labour? The second one depends on you. It means if you want, you can labour hard, work for day and night and avail your time in some constructive and progressive work. You can be more industrious today than you were yesterday. But it is impossible to attain the first facet i.e. luck. People do have different views on the attainment of luck. Some believe that the luck depends on the deeds (karma) of your previous life (past life). If you had done good things for the welfare of common people and you had well worshipped the almighty god then you can be lucky, otherwise not. Luck is not the thing that can be acquired; rather it is inherited or predetermined before your birth. Some astrologists are in the strong stand that your birth decides your fortune. They believe that the position of the heavenly bodies (planets and stars) at the time of your birth decide everything of your future life. No other environmental factors in which you will be/are nurtured can affect your life. In this way, what we can allude is that; it is never possible to be lucky or unlucky. And the concept of luck is still in the womb of mystery. Whether it has a role to play in our life is also beyond empirical evidences. No scientist has been able to prove absolutely that luck has something to do in our life. The influence of stars and planets at the time of birth for the determination of one’s future is also beyond scientific experimentation. Moreover, we should not believe in the things that are subtle and under reality. So the most important thing for us to get success is not to believe in luck but be industrious and hardworking that undoubtedly keeps us up and up leading to the optimum level of achievement. Let us give a dam care to luck and whole-heartedly enjoy in the work we have done for the betterment of our future. Work is worship! Labour is luck!
