Justin Bieber, Emma Watson, Daniel Radcliffe, Miley Cyrus, Harrison Ford, are all celebrities that became famous almost overnight with very little effort compared to the rest.

There are people who find a meteorite landed in their backyard, those that actually win the lottery and those that get scouted out of nowhere.

People reach success because they were at the right place at the right time, because their idea got lucky, or even because they managed to convince someone to take a leap of faith in them.

Success, does not always come through dedication.

It can be a lucky break, a perfect set of circumstances, or just a random event that can spiral some people into success. No dedication required.

Success is not determined by dedication, hard work or effort, but it is also not only determined by luck, talent or your environment.

The thing is that success can come to anyone, but the people that get success to come to them usually work hard for it.

You cannot rely on luck, talent or being at the right place at the right time. That always happens randomly.

Maybe you get the lucky break, maybe you do not.
