Hardwork or luck, which do you prefer?

It is a very common and casual question!
If we understand the depth of it, perhaps, then for a better reason, for a longer sustaining reason, for a reason that does not impose dependence on the outside situation, we could choose hard work(otherwise, normally, we find our mind evading all our resolves to work hard !)

Hardwork or luck, which do you prefer?
My answer:
Luck is almost like the product of hard work. Lucky to win a lottery--somebody produced that money by hard work. Lucky to be born of wonderful parents--it takes a lot of hard work to become wonderful parents! Lucky to get a seat in a crowded bus--somebody beside us undergoes the 'hard work' of standing instead of us! Lucky to be born in a prosperous country--that country is prosperous due to hard work, honesty, good team spirit of a few generations!When we decide to forgo a part of the results of our hard work, somebody else is bound to be lucky!

Very good and deep advice! However I wish to relate that we can willingly (and honestly, without deceiving ourselves) forgo the fruits of our hard work only when we have the total picture, as when we have God's grace. Or else, when we see the luck of another person, we become resentful. Maybe we surrendered the fruits in a dishonest way. i.e. hypocritically.

Even with God's Grace I find it difficult to surrender the fruits of hard work. I have benefited tremendously by other people's surrender of their fruits. I only pray that I too can surrender the fruits willingly and happily when the time comes, for the welfare of the Universe.
