Does luck has anything to do with success?
“When people succeed, it is because of hard work. Luck has nothing
to do with success. ”
I do not agree with this quotation. Although hard work is the main
reason behind success, luck also plays a big part. Hard work and
luck together are the cause of a person`s success.
People work very hard to achieve their goals in life. Nothing in this
world can be accomplished without hard work. I once read in a book
that people work day and night to make their dreams come true. No
one can become successful without putting effort into his/her work.
When I was studying for my SAT 2 writing exam, my dad advised
me to practice as much as I could. I wrote essays everyday and
worked very hard in improving my writing style. Later, when I gave
the exam I got a score in a high percentile. Hard work always results
in a fruitful outcome.
Although hard work results in success, it also requires a bit of luck.
Sometimes, even hard work does not give a person what he/she
wants. I read in the newspaper once about a 10-year old boy who
won 10,000 Rupees in Pakistan. Luck can be a big factor behind
success. Before I even thought that success comes from hard work
but one incident changed this belief of mine. When I was in 11th
grade, I got an assignment that I had to give in the next day. I
worked the whole day and hardly slept. When I went to school, one
of my friends did her assignment in recess and despite my hard
work; she got a higher grade than me. That is when I learned that
hard work is not always the main reason behind success.
Hard work and luck together create success. Neither of them works
alone. Some people have just luck and some just have the ability of
working very hard but in this world nothing can be gained without
the two of them working together.
