Your destiny also plays a very important role in your success but you never come to know it previously before the stuff happens. So it's said that there's zero to the infinite probability that your luck matters. But after all, you yourself, write your destiny.
Destiny does not serve everyone equally, there's no democracy in this case. As everyone is not the same, so is their destiny.
