Success is only a question of luck. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

#success #luck
For some people accomplishment is associated with luck,
however
, for others, it is directly proportional to the amount forwork one puts in.
Additionally
, there is no one rule
that is
 acceptable to everyone. People tend to have different criteria for the analysis of their achievements. In general, it is considered a parameter to judge the outcome.
For instance
, there are two students who want to be a doctor and luckily, they somehow, managed to achieve a degree but it is not guaranteed, both take it as an achievement.
In addition
, there is a possibility that one of them wants to be a doctor with distinction, so for him earning a degree like the rest is not a success.
On the other hand
, the other person is satisfied and happy.
Moreover
, for a cluster of individuals, the boom is obtained by luck and fate. They believe putting in the effort is not an important factor.
On the contrary
, the other group is more concerned about the hard work and energy imposed to achieve a task. They maintain a constant effort to reach their goal.
Moreover
, they are not disappointed by the hardships and issues that are noted during the journey. I belong to the second school of thought which believes in obtaining it by effort.
Furthermore
, I would sum up by saying that the more you add, the better you see the result.
