“When people succeed, it is because of hard work. Luck has nothing to do with success”.Do you agree or disagree with the quotation above?
Use specific reasons and examples to support your opinion.
When seeing somebody’s success, some people may think it is simply because of luck but others including the person who archived the success know that it is not true. The truth is that luck has nothing to do with success.
First of all, luck is defined as a chance happening, or that which is beyond the control of a person. It means that you neither know when that chance incoming nor you can creat luck yourself. It’s the reason why a lottery ticket that you bought can not guarantee you a grand prize or you can spend thousands playing slot machine without winning a penny. If you want a certain success, your effort is the thing you can depend on, not luck.
Even in case when you meet a luck that can bring you success, you will not be able to accomplish anything without setting your mind and working hard on it. Everybody has heard about a popular story of Issac Newton and a falling apple which make him aware of the force of gravity. In fact, it had taken him years of hard work before he finally came to the theory of gravitation. We can find a lot of story like that among our greatest inventors of all time, like Thomas Edison who did hundreds of experiment to find out the best material for the bulb filament or Marie Curie with her restless effort to discover radium. They all proved that luck is merely a chance unless we work hard on it, only hard work can bring chance to reality.
Finally, as people said triumph doesn’t come without effort. You can see it in everyday life. You may, as I am, sometimes wonder how your life would be if you didn’t wait for the chance to start doing something and what would happen if you tried the “hard and difficult” way to do it. No one can say your hard work can bring you success or not, but it worth trying than waiting for the chance you can not control. I believe that if luck does appear, it only favours those who helped themselves first. It’s not likely I’m type of person who does not believe in luck, but as Thomas Jefferson, third president of the United States, said : “I’m a great believer in luck and I find the harder I work, the more I have it”

When seeing (anyone successful), some people may think it is simply because of luck but others including (the ones) who archived the success know that it is not true. (In fact/in reality)(Cause u use the adj of truth), luck has nothing to do with success.
