Life is too complex to be boiled down to the dichotomy of hard work vs luck.

I don't think there is a proper answer to this question, because I think the question is flawed. And I believe that focusing on this kind of question is indicative of a mediocre mind willing to blame external circumstances and justify their misery on something that they have no control over.

The truth is, we are all very lucky to be here.
Alive, not disabled, having internet access, being literate, understanding English etc.

Whatever cards life has dealt you, the best strategy is to take full responsibility for your life and do as much good as you can, with what you have - while you still can.
