Go hand in hand

This is the metaphor of two people working together, side by side, hand in hand. Where one is weak the other is strong. When one stumbles, the other catches him.
When bad luck befalls, hard work gets "them" through. When the person's strength falters and he is unable to do the work, some good luck seems to come his way to pull him through.

I think it means success is a result of luck and hard work,if lacks one of them not to be possible.

Lack has helped many people, both famous and ordinary, become successful. I think that luck and hard work go hand in hand.

I think the word 'lack' may actually be a typo error for the word 'luck'. That would make more sense here. Perhaps you should check your source.

When two things 'go hand in hand', it means that they are closely associated with each other.

eg Fish and chips go hand in hand.

Hi Clive, I checked my source again, but I think it's not typos.

Dou you think that 'lack and hard work go hand in hand' is the right sesntence? And 'lack' means 'not having enough'? My understanding is ok?

Hi,

No, I don't. 'Lack' is not a very natural word to use there, and 'luck' makes a lot more sense. I think someone made a mistake somewhere.

Can you give more us of the context in which these statements occur? What is said before this?

Chelsea Cheung if lacks one of them not to be possible.

The problem with your statement is that "possible" is absolute and "lack" is not.
She suffered from the/a complete lack of good fortune.
She suffered from a partial lack of good fortune.
