Sometimes our life seems to be boring and far from the success especailly when we hear the news saying about the lottery winner. However, I believe we can obtain the true success only by hard work and the reasons why I think like that go as follow.
First of all, if you are not ready, you cannot seize luck even though it is coming to you. Hanbiya, my favorit Korean autour, says in her book that we have to prepare our furture without complaining even a word then we can take a chance when the chance finally comes to us. Generally people think the luck is not dependent on our ability or will and there is nothing we can do about the luck. Actually, the truth is the luck comes only to the person who is eligible and deserves to take it and the luck is not literally "luck" even though it seems to other people. Just think about your life at work. During the time you spend on drinking coffee and complaining about your life, your collegue try to contrive ideas for a new project, and he/she will probably go to a higher position faster than you. At that time, you may still complain about your bad luck.
In addition, you still need to manage your luck by working hard. It does not only mean literally working hard but also studying and pondering what kind of life you want to live. Let's back to the lottery winner. There is also the news which says that the lottery winner extinguished all the money and eventually was arrested by police for his/her robbery. Therefore, the problem is not whether you can take luck but whether you can manage it if you encounter it.
In conclusion, I do not want to say that we can make success without any luck. It is evident that the success consists of constand hard working and luck. But I strongly beleive the luck can have meaning only when people prepare their life thoroughly and hard work definitely outweighs the luck. |
