Hard work and Luck: I think i'm getting the gist

Those factors that I can control, I can work hard on those.
Those that I cannot control, I need luck with those.

So, invest and work hard in matters I can control. And pray for luck with those I cannot control.
If I mix up the two, its a recipe for disaster - work hard on factors I cannot control, and rely on luck or pray for those that I can control.

While investing in business, I should work hard with assets/resources like people, machinery, marketing, finances, etc. And pray for favorable weather and favorable laws! :)
