Meaning
This reads as a blunt rejection of luck as the main engine of achievement. It can be taken to mean that success is built through effort, resistance, and persistence rather than waiting for chance. It lands when someone is tempted to give up, especially in work or study, and needs a push to keep fighting for what they want.
