The Interplay of Hard Work and Luck in Success
I have experienced luck several times in my life, and it all came through a little hard work. This is to tell you that luck is tied to effort and, thus, success. There should be something you are engaging in that will bring you luck one day. I think it will be foolish for one to fold his or her hands, expecting manners from heaven to fall, anticipating to be lucky through what? No, your hands should find something to do, working hard and hoping for luck someday. One thing I love about hard work is that it gives one experience and even skill during the process, and most times, one can fail several times while working hard but will learn life lessons through the failure. This is why I feel that hard work has more impact than luck.

Moment Where Hard Work Paid Off For Me |
---|
I mentioned in my previous post that I once did a cleaning job for clients. This particular job requires that I move from one building site to another, seeking a developer who will give me a job after they are done with the whole building and finishing touches, then my team of five boys will do the cleaning for me while I pay them from the money I realized from my client and go home with the remaining balance. Sourcing for jobs is my work, including buying materials and equipment for cleaning while the boys do the main cleaning job. There is this developer that I met and requested that he give me a job; unfortunately, he said he has cleaners already who do the job for them every time. Perhaps he said that to dismiss me; I wouldn't know, but getting this client was hard work; keeping him and seeking more clients came with lots of hard work. I was always on the ground, training those boys and making sure that our work gave the client the utmost satisfaction. Unlike other madams, who will stay in the comfort of their homes to direct their workers, I was involved in all the cleaning contracts I got, making sure that we met deadlines and did the work perfectly. The more clients I got before I stopped the job for a reason, all came from my first client, due to how impressed he was with my job and delivery. It was an evident sign of hard work.
A Moment I Was Lucky |

I was curating posts on the Dreamport website a few months ago, and I came across a post from Dreamsteem where she talked about playing games on the Dreamport Discord server that same day. I checked the time of the game, and it was just like an hour remaining for the game to commence. I didn't even understand the game in detail, but I went ahead and set my alarm, ⏰ waiting for this game. Unfortunately, something took me to the market urgently, and when it was time for the game, I was in a rowdy environment. You should know how the market is. This game requires that you join Voice through Discord and follow Dreemsteem's instructions. I joined the voice but couldn't hear a word due to how noisy my environment was. On checking the text channel, I saw people typing different numbers. I wondered what these people were typing, and on a second thought, I felt I should type too. And I started typing any number that came to mind, and within one minute, Dreemsteem screamed through text and said, Nkem won it! In my mind, I was like, What just happened? What did I win by typing numbers? Shortly, she typed that I had won 22,500 Dreem tokens (248 liquid Hive) for typing and guessing the right number, which was 26. Oh boy, I was super excited 😊. First, I was lucky enough to come across that post, which gave me a clue about the game and I made effort to join in and participate.
This is the moment I experienced luck with just a little effort. I will summarise this post by saying that whatever you are doing, keep doing it. I believe one day you will be lucky through your hard work.
This post was inspired by the #hivelearners community contest on the topic titled Luck or Hard Work.

I think that is a normal feeling, usually, we don't invest much of our time and effort in events that demand luck, so when we see a product of hard work we feel happy. We invested time and lot's of effort in something that produced something very good, which you can use as a good example in your life =) But hey 248 hive is a great prize!!
The "services" working area is a lot about referrals, so the good job performed by you/your company creates a good reputation that will lead to new referrals. I already dumped lots of services when I felt deceived by the company.

Btw, the bot allowed you to curate? I saw that the VP is too low and that's why I haven't curated any post since morning using the bot
Oh my God!
That's a lot of money. Omo I even need to join dreemport
Congratulations to you
It may not be recently but you deserve to be congratulated
Nice one!
Smile 😊
Thank you so much
You can join oo
It's not hard
Some cleaning jobs are not just hard work it's stressful 😫 but you really tried meeting up with the work
Wow the other is really luck oh, na that kind thing I de pray for, hmm if I get am, one chance
Great writer with great write up
Hahaha 🤣🤣😂
One chance indeed 😂😂
You will be lucky too
Just don't give up
Most of the time our hard work paid off. Sometimes it happens directly and sometimes it happened in indirectly and in your case it happened in indirect ways.
In case of luck I don't think too much about it because I feel I am special and lucky one.
!PIZZA
!LUV
Always a lucky one Intishar...I need to tap from your grace oo 😂😂
WOW. Luck really played out well for you. For me, hard work pays off for me more which have made me zero mind on luck but always grateful when I see a stroke of it.
This is true, luck is tied on hard work.
Babe, I usually zero my mind too on luck and when it comes, it becomes a surprise 😍
I wish you luck my dear 😍🥰🥰🥰
I tap in your grace o and I receive the wish. Hard work speaks volume and boost our confidence and worth.
Now that's what I call luck! You didn't even know what was going on or even the reason why people were typing different numbers but yet you were still able to get the winning number. This is definitely the best luck story I have read so far
My dear, everything looked so strange to me..I had no idea of why people were typing those numbers...this kind of luck made me speechless 🥲
Thanks for your visit
The luck you had was even a result of the effort you put into being part of the game. Luck can't just happen if one does not put the slightest bit of effort into it. And you won that much Hive without remembering my share. Hmm, don't boss me again, oh.
Hahaha 😂 😂😂🤣🤣🤣
I was enjoying this feedback until you spoiled it with your last statement oo 😂🤣
My big boss, my boss for life 😍
I have to continue bossing you biko
If I no boss you, wetin I gain...lolz
That winning was the month I powererd up 100 hive...my highest ever,the luck made it happen..lolz
Then, I used the remaining balance to self treat myself 🤣😂😂😂🤣
Oya sorry.. hehehe 😉
Your emoji makes it sound like:
I almost forgot to mention, I like your markdown! Come and do tutorial for me now 😅😂
Hahaha 😂😂😂
Oya sorry 😔😐
Lolz
Thanks for the compliment 🥰
I didn't even apply Many markdowns
You taught me naw.. you are the OG 😍
I should come for more tutorials
Lol
Hello there, Nkem. Haha. I couldn't help but smile when I read the part where Dreem announced that you won such a huge prize. I'm sure you must've been extremely excited. Congratulations (even though it has passed.)
Well, I believe that luck exists. I also believe that hard work is really an important tool in achieving success. Both are important. But, in my opinion, Luck has greater impact.
Luck has greater impact? Have you made your post? I need to check something 🚶🏃🏃🏃
Hmmm!!! I love the ending part. Most people think luck is something that just happens to people without them doing anything, i know it happens but honestly majority of times what we call luck often comes from our hard work. Sometimes it's even something you forgot that you did that will open doors for you. Congratulations ma, 22, 500 dreem is huge😋
Yesoooo
Such a yummy gift by luck
As you can see, I did a mini hardwork by curating and seeing the game, then joining before the luck came ..lol
For sure, without work, luck is going to be rare
Thank you
