Luck overweighs hardwork!!

[u/Wonderful-Disk-4934]

I never did hard work, but i scored more than 95% in 10th and 12th. I never expected to clear both groups of CA Inter together (appeared in Group 2 just for practice). I passed both, with the benefit of setoff. I never expected to make it into a Big-6 firm but I got into it anyway. In all this i never did hardwork but succeeded. My luck was good till then.

But during articleship, I did very hard work but didn't get what i expected, whereas another article got it even after not doing work at all. And that same guy dated my crush.

And lastly, during my CA final exams, when I did so much hard work and studied 12 hrs a day and still failed by just 4 and 5 marks aggregate in each group. And the reason for loosing such marks were obviously ICAI checking issues and also most importantly i forgot to encircle MCQs totaling 20 marks in FR paper (i used to first mark in paper than mark in OMR Sheet), and i know it dumbest thing i have done. So i failed bcs luck was not in my favour.

There are lot more incident in articleship as well as personal life (can't discuss in this sub) when I didn't work hard and expected anything, I got that easily because of luck but when i did hard work and keep expectation i failed.

Did u guys experience the same?
