He continued:

“There are two ingredients for luck -hard work and passion.

The more work you put into something and the more passion you apply, the “luckier” you will find yourself.

You have to work hard, and be passionate and committed about what you do, to be successful and make your own luck.”

“Hardwork and passion are within your power and control, and you should apply them to earn your own luck and to help us foster a better and more prosperous world.”
