Topic: When people succeed, it’s because of handwork. Luck has noting to do with success. Do u agree or disagree with this statement?

 U had to spend over 10 years at school, a couple of years at university. However, after graduating, U still only got a salary from 150$ - 300$. So when will u get enough money for your owned car or a house...with that income ? Hardworking only make u to live in an easy circumstances but luck can bring you more than that ^^

If a person win in a lottery, which worth several billion of dollars, they’ll become millionaire only after one night. He get a big luck that cause jealousy of many other people with doing nothing. Earning money by luck always is dream of almost people, who spent not too little money on prize, poker, house – race... Or even when we was a child, didn’t know anything about treasure or power, we still desire fortune smile on us so that we can be married a pretty prince like in a fairy tale. It can not be deny that sometime luck can bring us to success as fast as unbelievable.

What would be happen if u studied hard in a long time before the exam and u got a bad sick right before that day? What could an athlete do with broken leg in an competition days? Would David Copperfield cry if he forgot all his important equipments right before going through The Great Wall, nomatter how many time of practicing? No one can say one of them were lazy with their works, but they could lost a chance of their lives simply just because of destiny. It’s no wrong when saying that sometime hardworking could lead us nothing.

However, what come easily, go easily. U’ve awarded a lot of things which don’t mean that u can keep all them with you forever. If u don’t work at least for managing ur money, mountain of property also will run away soon. None of millionaires don’t have to work hard, Bill Gates read hundred of books in a year since he was an students, music genius Mozart also spent over 30 years of his short life for working and even inherited wealthy like William prince still has to learn and work like any normal man.

Luck and hard work always go together. U can’t not be idle to wait God compassion, and u absolutely can’t win the destiny, too. Therefore, I’d like to working hard for my future, and also keep seeking a chance in my life.

“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”
