▶ Your Answer : It is often said that although not doing their best, lucky people end up being successful in life on account of their luck. However, I firmly believe that the possibility of success is more dependent on their effort, not luck because people working hard is more recognized by superiors and luck is applied for only those who are ready for. To begin with, as you expect naturally, the more people work hard, the more chances they have to succeed in life. This is attributed to the fact that person's characteristic is also important component in work place. Such personalities tend to represent their way to live life and most of supervisor are likely to be interested in such workers. According to the Ministry of Labor of Korea in 2009, workers' characteristics was more significant factor than others in promotion, taking up more than 70 percent of the final decisions. The staffs in the personal section looked at the applicants' personality such as doing their best, working hard, and feel more responsible for their work. Among such personalities, working hard was the most crucial component for one to be promoted. This implies that not only luck, working hard has a direct correlation with success in the future. In addition, people who has tremendous luck cannot succeed in life if they are not ready. This is due to the fact that with even if they can be promoted or appointed to better work place with such great luck. Later on, they are going to have the chance to be fired by superiors if they cannot prove their ability. According to a study conducted by Seoul National University of Korea in 2008, there was the number of workes who be degraded due to inability after they got promoted with lucky situation. The researchers showd that they did not have enough ability to be entitiled for such position and they only used their luck. This implies that working hard is more safe and effective way to be successful in life. In brief, some people presume that barring luck, working hard is not enough for them to succeed in life. However, it is sufficiently possible for them to live a successful life when they are always working hard, waiting for their luck. Therefore, we ought not to underestimate the value of working hard. |
