As the saying goes, “Heaven helps those who help themselves.” That is, if someone works hard for one’s goal, luck would follow and help him. Some people think that people succeed just because of good luck. However, I firmly believe that it is not one’s luck, but the endeavor that makes him succeed. The rationale behind this is that only prepared man is able to get a big chance of one’s life and many successful people prove their efforts by themselves.
First of all, opportunities are open to the only qualified person. People say that there are at least three big chances in one’s life. But, if he’s not prepared appropriately, he will not even notice them and just end up seeing those chances pass by. To take my personal experience, last year my company offered me a good chance to study abroad for one year. I had been dreaming of studying abroad all the time but I didn’t do anything for that such as TOEFL that they required. So I couldn’t help giving up that chance and handing it over to my colleagues. That event reminds me of the importance of preparation at ordinary times.
Moreover, if we look around for a moment, it is easy to find successful people who made efforts for their objectives and finally accomplished them. In the successful CEO’s autobiography, he sleeps less than 5 hours every day, learns constantly, and strictly manages himself. In case of famous sports star, he practices all the time even if he has an excellent talent. For instance, Yuna Kim is the Korean figure skater who won the gold medal in Vancouver Olympics. When she was an elementary school student, she already swept most domestic contests and all the people praised her talents. But she was not satisfied, through painstaking practice, at last she became “the worldwide figure Queen.”
To summarize, eventually one’s efforts make him succeed. This is because not only prepared person can grasp the luck, but also actually successful people prove that by themselves. As Paulo Coelho, a famous writer, said in his book “alchemist”, ”If someone want something earnestly, all the universe help them to happen.” |
