Hard Work

What is so weird is that young people who want to be 'celebrities' do not want to put in the hard work.

Luck? I don't know anything about luck. I've never banked on it and I'm afraid of people who do. Luck to me is something else: Hard work - and realizing what is opportunity and what isn't.
