Some people say: luck is the most important factor for one’s success, but I think people who always believe in luck are not practical. I believe that most people who succeed in life due to hard work.

First of all, I do not think wealth is equal to success. Somebody who wins the lottery is really lucky. However, I do not think he really achieves great success in life. In my opinion, the identification of success is the affirmation of the self. If you get a high position or a lot of money just by luck, you will not be proud of it. Through hard work, you can affirm the value of your life.

Another reason why I do not think that luck is the main cause for success, is that luck will never follow you all the time in your life. Most distinguished entrepreneurs make a success of their career because of hard work. Even the great inventor, Addison, passes more than a thousand times of failure for the invention of a light bulb.

To sum up, 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.

I am very glad to see you, an energetic teacher, lots, lots of times and learn something from you on computer screen after we have to meet you once a week. Anyway, thank you for your making joys for us when we are feeling writing course is boring.
