Nigerian business mogul, Tony Elumelu has shared what he believes is the recipe for success.

Elumelu who is the Chairman of Heirs Holdings, Transcorp and the founder of The Tony Elumelu Foundation said in a Twitter trend that luck played a big role in his career success.

According to him, hardwork and passion are important, however, he achieved a lot due to luck which he described as "very important".

According to him, he did not just become lucky, he had a lot of passion and put in hard work. These were the real ingredients of luck.

He said: “I am where I am today because of luck. Let me be clear: Luck is important, but it is not a substitute for hard work or labour. Luck is a part of the cocktail that you need for success”

There are two ingredients for luck -hard work and passion. The more work you put into something and the more passion you apply, the “luckier” you will find yourself. You have to work hard, and be passionate and committed about what you do, to be successful and make your own luck.

Hardwork and passion are within your power and control, and you should apply them to earn your own luck and to help us foster a better and more prosperous world.”
