That depends on how you define "successful". If you are defining it financially, then both good luck and hard work are very important - without either one, it won't happen. But you say "successful person" - if you are not defining it financially, then it's more what you DO than what kind of luck you have.

It's not about good luck or hard work. Becoming successful is about creating your own luck by making use of opportunities whenever you meet opportunities. Also, being successful is about working smart, not working hard. Any job that involves working hard usually pays very little e.g janitor, farmer, construction work, teaching, nursing etc.

Successful people create their own luck, its not a coincidence. Hard work and smart decisions put you in that "lucky" spot, being in the right place at the right time.

You need both, but hard work will do a lot more for you than a sense of good luck.

I forget who said it, but; luck is a prepared persons response to an opportunity.
Having the right attitude is all you can do in life. The rest, is in the cosmos.

Both of course but then, that depends on your definition of success.
