Your primary goal ought to be to become one of those remarkable people who achieves greatly and makes a real difference with his life. And whether this happens or not is very much in your own hands.
To realize your full potential, you must focus on career goals, hard work and success factors and free yourself as much as possible from randomness and uncertainty. You must organize your life in such a way that the probabilities of achieving your career goals are extremely high.
You must learn the cause-and-effect relationships between what you want and how to get it through hard work and goal planning. You must take complete control over every part of your life and create your own future. You must leave nothing to chance.
Luck or hard work? When some people achieve great success faster than others, they are immediately accused of having "good luck" and rarely get credit for their hard work. When people make a mess of their lives, largely due to their own shortcomings, it's often dismissed as "bad luck."
One of the reasons for this confusion is that most people don't understand the difference between "chance" and "luck." Chance refers to gambling, to casinos, blackjack, poker, slot machines and horse racing. In games of chance, the outcome is almost completely out of your control and has nothing to do with success factors in life.
