Whether or not someone achieves their aims is mostly by a question of luck. To what extent do you agree or not agree.

Many people argue that someone’s success is attributable to

luck

instead

of their own hard

work

.

However

, I totally disagree with

this

opinion.

First

, being successful requires

determination

and huge effort.

For example

, Thomas Edison had continuously failed hundreds of times before inventing a variety of creations, in which the light bulb is the most popular invention. Without his infinite patience and diligent

work

, the scientist could not possess many different patents which remarkably influence our daily life. Another case of success through

determination

and passion is Steve Job, who kept pursuing his dream despite being kicked out of his own company. Passion and persistence led him to spend thousands of hours coding and experimenting to

finally

create a new operating system which strongly/significantly changes the world of technology.

Therefore

, passion,

determination

, and hard

work

are the key traits to succeed, which illustrates a greater importance than

luck

.

Second

,

luck

only makes a modest contribution to someone’s achievement. For the student who prays every night to pass the exam, there is very little chance for him to complete the test perfectly without any study or review. At least, the student has to study hard on some key issues and

luck

does the

last

if the question in exam relates to what he has known.

However

, in lottery case, it is undeniable to say that

luck

is purely the reason turning one person into an overnight millionaire.

However

/

Nevertheless

, the nearly zero percent of probability to win a lottery clearly proves that

luck

only comes by a small chance and cannot be the key point added to the success of everyone. In conclusion, I completely disagree with the idea that it’s all the matter of

luck

to succeed as there are other more important factors including passion,

determination

, and hard

work

.
