▶ Your Answer :
People have contradictory ideas about success. Some disagrees with the statement that success has nothing to do with their success. They believe luck is the important component of success : environment is always variable. so people can be affected by the environment. However, I agree with the idea that luck has nothing to do with their success for following two reasons.
Firstly, hard work makes people resistant to the environment around people. If people work or study hard, they become resistant from their surroundings. They do not get affected by their circumstances. They can get power to win over the bad luck by working hard. In my experience, I studied very hard for the exam. I started to study for the test about 3 weeks ago. so I memorized everything in the textbook. But I had a bad luck on the test day. It was because I caught a bad cold at that day. I solved the problem blaming the god for having me a bad cold on the important day. I expected my grade would be very low because I was not feeling well. But unlike my expectation, I got the perfect score on every subject. so I realized that hard work could overcome even the unlucky fate.
Secondly, hard work gives people confidence. Confidence is the important component of the success. Without confidence, there is less chance to success. Confidence gives people faith that no matter what happens, they will succeed. If people don't do their best, they may become anxious or feel nervous about the outcome they will get. However, if they work hard, they get confidence that they will succeed in their filed. According to some research based on their interviews, out of 15 ceos who are successful in Korea, 13 CEOs responded that confidence is their key factor to success. One CEO, who is Lee Kun-hee, responded with his experience that after thorough research and hard work, he began to realize that IT field will be the future bright industry. However, he had a lack of support or skills to start the IT field. But his hard work gave him the confidence that he will succeed in the IT field. so he started investing money in the It field. and Sam-sung becomes the number one IT corporation.
In one's path to success, luck has no influence. It is because hard work makes people resilient from their bad fate and gives confidence that they will succeed under whatever circumstances they may be in. |
