The words luck and lucky get tossed around pretty loosely. Lucky is a disparaging term when it's used to refer to others and marks the accuser as bitter, envious and resentful. When the other guy succeeds, it wasn't through talent or determination, he just got lucky.
When it's used to describe oneself it separates the proud from the humble, the braggart from the gentleman. A modest man will attribute much of his success to good luck, while the self-centered boaster will attribute most of his success to hard work and talent. Usually neither is telling the truth.
The truth is it usually takes hard work and talent to succeed. But that's often not enough. Sometimes you've got to get lucky.

"The great thing about a dream come true, is that it is born with a great appetite. That appetite keeps it growing and evolving and it swallows up all those other dreams you have and spits them back out as reality as well." -Brian Austin Whitney
