▶ Your Answer :
Some people think the main factor or, the only factor for success is hard work. However, I disagree with the thesis that people`s success is made by hard work but luck has nothing to do with the success. I think luck is also relevant factor of success. I disagree with the idea for two reasons.
First of all, people can not dodge and avoid the uncertainty. There is no doubt that hard work is major factor of success. However, every moment in people`s life, they go through variations and ramdomness of events. People think it is possible to predict and avoid every single of it. But in reality, people get in to accidents, and die because of natural disasters. Variations are caused daily and fluctuates in certain range, but randomness can not be predicted. For instance, Alan Turing, the British mathematician and scientist, was a war hero by devoting himself in making decode computer called ‘Colossus’. However, being accused of homosexuality, he was found guilty and had to get estrogen hormone injection. But he could not bare the changes in his body, and committed a suicide. He was hard working man, however he was unlucky that he was somehow randomly born in era, when it was not tolerant for sexuality issues.
Second, I think the luck is the last key, or the plug that makes the whole hard work leading to the success. Having only with the luck, it would be less likely to attain success. But, it can not be ignored that since hard work can be attained by completing several stages. All success are not gained at once. Every people tries hard to upgrade their level on their own criteria. For instance, there could be undergraduate school master`s degree or Ph.D for university student, who wishes to enhance his or her level. People try hard to be so close to success, and need a little luck to enter the ‘Success Level’. Moreover, the famous musicians and scientist have tried so hard to invent or proof a theory and compose masterpieces. They have gone through hard work and many trials. But without luck, they may not have found a hint, or factor that solves the problem, which led themselves to next phases.
In Consequence, I think when people succeed, it is because of hard work and also luck. The first reason was because of uncertainties that people under go such as variations and ramdomness. The second reason was that luck is factor that connects the phases between hard work and might be the plug that solves the problem.
