Let me answer your senerio with one of my own.
John works hard at work, best worker they have ever seen, never late, completes jobs quickly and thourough
Mike works kinda hard, usually on time, completes jobs, but not as good as John, But he is also good friends with the boss, therefore he gets the job..
This has nothing to do with luck, its all about playing the system.. and making your own luck.. or "paving your own path" as they say

Gexus you bring up a good point - I think it's both luck and hard work, but sometimes it's also something like this-
I've seen a lot of hard workers who were reliable be passed over for promotions *because* they were so good. They truly deserved to be promoted but they were purposefully being held back because they were doing *too* good of a job, no one else would be able to take their place and do it as well or efficiently.
