OCTOBER 5th GROUP-WORK PAPER REVISION

BRIEFLY DONE GROUP REVISION TO THE FOLLOWING TIMED WRITING

Have you ever had a friend who seemed like she had everything one minute and, at the drop of a hat, suddenly was left crying in the rain with nothing? This reminds me of my Aunt Sally, who always liked to gamble her future on luck. Is it wise to spend your life waiting for good fortune to come your way? Or is it smarter to concentrate on your job and be dedicated to one specific career. I believe that people succeed in life due to hard work because luck is unreliable and people who work hard are more motivated to learn more about their jobs.

First of all, hard work is a key factor to success over luck is because when luck comes, we are often fooled into thinking that it will always come our way. For example, you can visit a casino and make a million dollars but if you are not wise, you may lose your money the next day. If you had worked hard for this huge amount of money, you would maybe have been more careful in spending it. This is why many people who rely on luck and do not hard work end up poorer later in their lives than when they were young. My uncle is a good example, for he used to gamble so frequently that he lost his family and all of his possessions. If he would have worked hard like my father, then he would definitely have an easier life.

Another reason why hard work is the key to success is that people who work hard are more motivated to learn about their jobs. do not think wealth is equal to success. Somebody who wins the lottery is really lucky. Edison, for example, was a very dedicated inventor who always asked how he could improve whatever he was working on. Although he made a thousand mistakes on his way to making the lightbulb, he was successful in the end because he was persistent. It is important to learn as much as possible about all aspects of your job because you never know when you will be asked to take on the leadership of the entire company.

To sum up, people who rely only on luck in life will usually become failures in the end because their luck is almost always limited and short term. Those who are dedicated to their jobs through hard work are usually more motivated to learn as much as possible about their work. If everyone were to stop relying only on luck and become motivated workers, the world would probably a safer and cleaner place. we welcome luck but we can not usually rely on it. On the other hand, hard work always represents a serious attitude toward one’s life. That is the secret of success.
