"I Am Where I Am Today Because Of Luck" Tony Elumelu Writes On His Success by Fira09(op): 6:36pm On Nov 28, 2022
Tony Elumelu has taken to Twitter to share the ingredients for success.

The businessman wrote that luck is largely responsible for his success.

However, he said that luck cannot take the place of hard work.

He wrote that to get lucky, one must put in the work and have passion.

He wrote: "I am where I am today because of luck. Let me be clear: Luck is important, but it is not a substitute for hard work or labour. Luck is a part of the cocktail that you need for success"

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."

This man has a lot of questions to answer about his wealth.
The time he spends on the social media and personality cult doesn't speak well of a genuine businessman. Personal image and clout chasing seem more important to him than his businesses

Saw the tweets earlier today , the funny thing is" I too know" people who always have opinion about another person's life story, yet are confused themselves.
Social media is really funny . Dudes lecturing who they ought to beg to lecture them.
A lot of people need to learn about perception we see things in different ways . Some of us will not be where we are today if not for our parents, schools, pains, struggles and community none of which we choose ourselves.


Daguga:
Oga, it's not luck Abeg. Those who tweeted against 'luck' re very right
One question you should ask is , is Tony Elumelu, Dangote, Bill gate , Mark Zuckerberg etc the most hardworking people in their field ? The earlier you understand we are living in a Matrix the better for you. A lot of people have potentials but find themselves in the wrong field, poor health , accidents , countries etc that has limited their potentials .
From my perspective I'd say it's fate . So long has you can't plan and predict outcome of the next second no matter how intelligent and hardworking you are . Then it's luck .
Imagine someone saying it's connection, there are people who have networks but can't utilize it because they are in the wrong settings .

I love this man house.... God go do am for me..
Re: "I Am Where I Am Today Because Of Luck" Tony Elumelu Writes On His Success by buygala(m):
He had parents who laid a solid foundation for him..he won the birth lottery.. The 1st and most important lottery any human can win.

So yes... He is lucky.... And he built on that luck.. Even though there are snippets of some of his alleged shadowy dealings.. But as I wasn't there when he was doing it, I will count it all his "luck" grin


Go read A. A. Rano's story.. That right there is full blown hustle devoid of any birth lottery

Tony is a great man and I respect him alot. But he said nothing revolutionary here.

Luck is the caption here but what he actually did was to emphasise the importance of hard work and passion. I mean without hard work and passion you can't progress in life unless you inherit wealth from your rich parents.

God Himself said in the Holy Bible that:


"I will bless whom I will bless" , which means that your life is predestined, whatever you will be you will be...even your foolishness will contribute to your destination in life.


Humans only have choice in one thing; where to spend their eternity after their journey on earth, aside this, every other thing about you has been predestined, you can only plead for mercy and if there is slot for that then you can obtain mercy to alter your role in the script of life.



Even your laziness will help you to get to your destination...so success in life is not just a factor of hardwork or wisdom or intelligence but hugely dependent on your destiny.



Your destiny decides how far you will go in life, when you will die and how you will die and you cannot do anything about it just as Jesus Christ couldn't stop his own death even though He knew it was going to be painful, He wished it could pass away but then, He knew that was his destiny and his role in the script of life to fulfill God's will.
