A huge
number of people want to succeed without striving. They often tend to believe
in luck and want to be dominated by coincidence since this is the easiest way
of being succeeded. However, I firmly believe that hard work has more to do
with one’s success than luck does. This is because people can feel the sense of
achievement and they might fail if they depend on the luck too much. The
rationale behind this is presented below.
To begin with, one who wants to succeed in his
life is able to get the sense of accomplishment. This is mainly because when
people overcome predicament after they put a lot of efforts on their tasks,
they could learn the value of enormous amount of commitment for their lives.
They would be happy about what they have done and pretty much satisfied with
it. For example, my father was born in a
poor farmer’s family with many siblings. He had to support his family as an
eldest son of the family because my grandfather often hit my father and abandoned
his family due to the heavy drinking problem. Against all odds, my father had
studied very hard and became an accountant with reputation. He used to talk to
me, “hard working never betrays.”
On the other hand, luck is not entitled for
everybody. People who depend on their luck too much may lose their ways to be successful.
This is because the false belief might lead people to the wrong path. To
illustrate, I’ve known my next door neighbor for a long time. As a bread maker
of the family, he had devoted most of his time to his work, pool service.
However, he became to buy large amount of lotteries from some moment, which
made him lose more and more money. His wife was very disappointed whenever he
didn’t win but never prevented him from purchasing them. As a result, they were
bankrupt, had to sell their house and move to a small apartment. If he had
concentrated and worked hard on his career without squandering his fortune, he
would have been able to be a more successful person.
In conclusion, I strongly believe that hard working
is the best way for one to succeed because people get to know the value of hard
working and they are capable of having less chances of failure. If you want to succeed
for your life, you should not forget “heaven helps those who help themselves.”
