When we wish someone before an important event or significant life event, we often say "All the Best" or "Best of Luck". These two phrases have a similar meaning, but there is a subtle difference in the way they convey good wishes.
"All the Best" is used to express good wishes for success in all of someone's endeavors. It is meant to convey a sentiment of encouragement and support that lasts beyond a particular event or occasion. It is used when people are working towards a long-term vision or goal and are in the process of achieving something significant.
"Best of Luck" is used to express good wishes for success in a specific event or endeavor, usually in the near future. It conveys a sentiment of encouragement and support for a particular situation, such as an exam, job interview, or sports match. It is used when people are marching towards a mission or a specific goal.
Overall, both phrases are friendly and positive expressions of support and encouragement, but "All the Best" has a broader and more general meaning, while "Best of Luck" is more specific to a particular event or situation.
In philosophical terms, "All the Best" is a teleological expression, meaning it focuses on the end goal or outcome, while "Best of Luck" is a deontological expression, meaning it focuses on the duty or action required to achieve the desired outcome"
