Whether or not someone achieve their aims is mostly a question of luck. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Life becomes purposeful when you set your goals straight. It is like an archery game, either you hit the centre or land nearby, depends on how much effort you put in the practice and your focus on the target. Though I believe that it is individual's efforts and sincerity towards their aim that leads to the results not the other way around. I will discuss both points here and

come to my conclusion. Life is not a bed of roses, in that case we have to be prepared to cut some thorns out to enjoy the bed of roses.

this
is for sure that if you set the goal and take strategic steps to achieve it in a smart way, by using the abilities you have been blessed with, after defeating the obstacles you will definitely achieve your purpose. As there is a saying, "you get what you effort for, not what you wish for". A great example of
this
is, Apple CEO Tim cook, the man got the top job for a reason, he has always been a workaholic and Fortune reports that, he begins sending emails at 4:30 am. To sum up, I strongly agree with the fact that in order to achieve the purpose, you don't need good fortune
