Some argue that one’s success comes by grabbing some luck in their lifetime because there are only few who have became successful. However, from my perspective, I believe that one’s success depends on how much effort that they had put in it. The following are the two reasons: preparation makes people to seize opportunity better and it is a steady way to gain success for oneself.
When it comes to seizing opportunity there is no doubt that it happens to those who have put their efforts on their works. Although some might argue that the luck also has a huge part for one’s success, however, you may not deny that luck happens to only few people. There is a famous saying that ‘genius is 1 percent inspiration and 99 percent perspiration’. This means that only of those who are preparing for the future and their goals grab the opportunity for success at last. The one who only waits for the luck will always stand in the same place while others are moving forward to gain success. For instance, a famous Hollywood movie star Brad Pitt is known for his good looking and his acting. Even though he is now well known for his gorgeous smile and appearance, he has also been through the hard times when he was not known to the public. He practiced and found movie directors to audition for a film to gain a success in his career. If he had not tried hard to improve his acting and just waited for luck to come in front of him, we would not have survived through the competitive world of Hollywood.
Moreover, as far as bigger chance and steadiness is concerned it is quite sure that diligence and hard working are everything. Luck seldom comes to few as I have mentioned above, Therefore, simply waiting for one’s luck is not a wise behavior to do since it is too risky. From getting a promotion in the workplace for employees to achieving a high test scores in IBT TOEFL test for students there is nothing desirable to attain one’s goal or success than hard working. In case of mine I studied really hard to get an admission from the foreign language high school which is a really competitive place to get in. Even though it was really tough and hard I believed on myself rather than on few proportion of luck to be accomplished. On the other hand, one of my friends also applied for the same school, but she failed while I had been elected. She just played before a month of the test and believed her luck and I am sure that made her to fail. This also applies to people’s success; if I had not believed on myself and just waited some luck to come I would have failed like my friend.
In a nut shell, considering the higher chance of grabbing opportunity and steadiness possibility of success it is pivotal to put one’s efforts than waiting for luck.
