Whether or not someone achieves their aims is mostly related to luck. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Nowadays, the question of whether
luck
is the key to someone’s success has been receiving a great deal of public attention.
Although
luck
is an indispensable element, the role of hard work and determination can never be replaced.
First,
determined and industrious
people
will be successful in whatever they do. It is undeniable that the harder
people
work on their dreams, the more successful they become.
For instance
, Nick Vujicic, a motivational speaker, suffered from the absence of four limbs. Despite not having any hands or legs, Vujicic earned a bachelor's degree and now he travels around the world inspiring
people
as a motivational speaker.
By contrast
,
luck
is only a small factor in determining one’s achievement.
People
cannot be dependent on only
luck
to become successful.
For example
, if a student does not study for an exam, he might fail, no matter how lucky he might be.
People
can be lucky many times but cannot be lucky for the rest of their lives.
Moreover
,
people
who believe in
luck
also
downplay others’ achievements.
For example
, many
people
tend to downplay others’ hard work or efforts the moment they find out that those
people
come from a rich background or are naturally gifted. In conclusion, despite
luck
being a necessary thing in life,
people
should not depend only on it. By working hard and with determination,
people
will achieve their aims.
