Statistically no

Hard work and a firm handshake

No

No

Define rich and define luck.

Yes! Crime, violence, and corruption! However, the state is trying to saturate the market but there is still lots of room for the little guy if you get a good niche.

You can't do ANYTHING without luck
you still need to meet the right people, not get killed by opposing gangs and not get caught by the police...

Yes but you'll be old and not filthy rich

yes, you can. everyone in this thread is NGMI.

Yes.

I started from 0, never used shortcuts or family relations, always took the straight way forward and based on merits. Never even had any luck that I know of. Parents both have no uni degrees either, never pushed me in school, pusher myself from age 5 on.

Downside: my gf is bitchy and I want to break up with her, while a year ago I wanted to marry her. Plus got a chronic internal disease which is genetic and emerged when I was 18.

Depends how you define it. If you spend 10 years working tirelessly to get a business off the ground and finally get your big break people will point to that big break as if you got randomly lucky without acknowledging the decade of work you put in.

You ain't rich you're a wageslave

Define rich then.

Be a literal genius prodigy, otherwise no

Hard work, being an extrovert and luck go hand in hand. Good for you but dont be a retard.

I am not an extrovert. I had no luck whatsoever.

Absolutely not, imagine if you were born a disabled indian whose parents were farmers circa 1650. You'd have zero chance of getting rich. The key is understanding that 'luck' is an ambiguous concept with no discrete definition and cannot be totally factored out of a given set of events. Therefore you should think of 'hard work' as the number of 'lottery tickets' you buy. Some people buy hundreds per day, some people only buy three. Sometimes the guy who only buys one, gets a jackpot.

You are delusional.
