There is a Chinese story of an old farmer who had an old horse for tilling his fields. One day the horse escaped into the hills and, when all the farmer's neighbours sympathised with the old man over his bad luck, the farmer replied, 'Bad luck? Good luck? Who knows?'
 
A week later the horse returned with a herd of wild horses from the hills and this time the neighbours congratulated the farmer on his good luck. His reply was, 'Good luck? Bad luck? Who knows?'
 
Then, when the farmer's son was attempted to tame one of the wild horses, he fell off its back and broke his leg. Everyone thought this very bad luck. Not the farmer, whose only reaction was, 'Bad luck? Good luck? Who knows?'
 
Some weeks later the army marched into the village and forced every able-bodied youth they found there by law to serve in the army. When they saw the farmer's son with his broken leg they let him off. Now was that good luck? Bad luck? Who knows?

nice story brother, I also don't believe in luck but i am sure you will agree that there are some factors/ incidents/ accidents which are beyond our control. For example..  if the two students who you have mentioned are going to take the exam and the student who has prepared well, meets with an accident.. what will you call it .. luck  or  by chance or anything.. you can change any name but the fact remains same that it couldn't have been avoided. well I think whether there is existence of luck or not , we should just concentrate on our action...

भाई लक वक् कुछ नहीं होता है. बुद्धि लगा कर जितना ज्यादा परिश्रम करो गे उतनी ही अधिक सफलता मिलेगी . मई उदारण देता हूँ. दो विद्यार्थी हैं दोनों इम्तहान की तैयारी कर रहे है, एक विद्यार्थी भाग्य भरोसे कुच्छ इधर और कुछ उधर पढ़ केसोंक्ट्हा है की हे भगवान्, जो जो चीज़ मैंने पढ़ा है, ओसी में से सवाल पूछना . दूसरा विद्यार्थी हर चीज़ पढ़ लेता है.  एस दूसरे विद्यार्थी ने भाग्य के एलेमेन्ट को बिलकुल निकल दिया . क्यों की उसने सब पढ़ रक्खा है और कहीं से भी सवाल पुछा जाए, वो उसका उत्तर देगा ही. लेकिन पहला विद्यार्थी ? उसने भाग्य का भरोसा लिया, अगर दो तीन चप्टर से सवाल पुछा गया तो वोह उत्तर देगा नहीं तो भगवान् ही मालिक है.

अपना भाग्य हम अपने आप ही लिखते हैं कौन सफल रहेगा वोह निर्भर करता है कौन कितनी मेहनत करता है. ज्यादा मेहनत कम भाग्य कम मेहनत ज्यादा भाग्य
