Is success a result of luck, or hard work? Neither? Both?

Oh my, that’s something to ponder on. I’ve often heard the saying: “the harder I work the luckier I become,” and thought it true.
Working hard though is not a certainty of success. My father worked hard from being 14 years old and never had much money. I can’t remember him having time off for sickness or for long holidays. Of course he worked in a family business and it’s been an observation of mine that such people are more conscientious, that, or they have no choice.
Some people can’t deal with luck, they might win the lottery but don’t seem happy until they’ve spent it all and are back to the status quo.
I think many successful people would have been so, no matter what. They have a drive and a feeling of entitlement others don’t.
