Encounter with Mr. Rakesh Roshan - HARD WORK, TALENT & LUCK

I had the good fortune of meeting one of the stalwarts of Bollywood, Mr. Rakesh Roshan yesterday.

I am very impressed with Mr. Roshan’s attitude towards life; he not only displayed humility & gratitude but also showed great acumen for business & finance.

I asked him a specific question on how much role do the 3 pillars - hard work, talent & luck play in achieving success in life & his prompt reply was -

Talent - 10 %
Hard work - 10 %
Luck - 80 %

Maybe my answers would tally with Mr. Roshan, a few years down the line but today, my own estimate at this stage of my life is -

Talent, Skills, Knowledge - 20 %
Hard work - 30 %
Luck / Divine blessings - 50 %

How much % would you give ?
