Luck plays a massive role in success and successful people need to stop acting like just about hard work

I am a firm believer in "The harder you work, the luckier you get". However it has always bothered me how offended successful people get when you suggest that luck had at least a small part to play in their success. There are millions of talented people in the world who have worked hard but will never get a sniff of major success simply because the cards didn't fall in the right place at the right time.
