One of my co-employee told me one of his saying "Lucky person are better than an intelligent one", He told me this one because what he said that even how smart or intelligent you are without luck, you will still hard time in life. Do you believed in being lucky in better than being an intelligent person.

Luck plays an important role in the life of a man. But it does not mean that only luck is everything that pays. Every work in life needs some intelligence. So it may be concluded that the combination of luck and intelligence is all that is needed for the success of a man in life.

I think luck is just a perception that while not completely false, not completely true. There are times where what seems lucky, it is just a bit of being in the right place in the right time, but then there is a lot of attempting to get in the right place at the right time. Therefore, there has to be some amount of intelligence involved. Intelligence at times even leads to luck a lot of the time, because people are smart enough to take advantage of the situations, which we perceive as being lucky.
Therefore, in the end, it is better to be intelligent, than lucky. Intelligence can lead to a lot of situations that end favorably. Trust me when I say that I have lived out some tough spots all things considered. Therefore, I would rather be intelligent, than lucky, because when it comes down to everything, our smarts of being in the right place in the right time, are going to lead to the things that seem like luck.

Paris Hilton.She belongs to the category of lucky people, right?Born in a rich family, no need to worry about the future.But personally, I wouldn't change places with her, no thanks.Intelligent person without luck is nothing but an intelligent person who doesn't use brains.Luck comes from positive thinking.Some of my great intelligent friends keep complaining about how unfair the world is instead of taking some action.Lucky are those who take action and think positively about life.

Hmm... I think that intelligence is better. Why? If you really are intelligent, you'll never run out of it. Luck runs out at times; in my case, many times hahah!

For me luck comes after intelligence. You just have to be hardworking and patient and make use much of your intelligence to reach your ambitions in life. Intelligence is very important in decision making. So if you are intelligent enough to plan what's good for you then all the luck would come after it. You don't always depend on luck. Only few people have those and those people are really deserving.

well "The harder I work The luckier I get" I don't believe in such thing as luck. if there was a lucky man alive we sure would have noticed him. All the great personalities in the past are hardworking. well there is not a single exception to that. if there was such think like luck i would rather choose it. sadly it does not exist.
