Does luck has anything to with success? Throughout their lives all people strive to succeed To achieve this most of them work hard and rely only on themselves in making their dreams come true But in this process of continuous toiling they encounter luck or lack of it, and sometimes it proves crucial to a person's development In my opinion hard work is the main thing that defines success, but in most cases luck also plays a very important role First of all, hard work can be controlled by people, but luck can't Everyone can decide whether to work hard or not, but almost no one can predict luck That's why people should toil and be dependent on their knowledge, not on their luck For example, two friends of mine were preparing for an exam at the same time One of them was studying very much, and the other one hoped he will have luck to pass the exam, because he was always lucky At the day of the exam the first got a great score, because he was well prepared, and the second failed, because that day he had bad luck Second, although hard work is most important, sometimes people need little luck Luck, however, doesn't come to all people who wish for it, but only to those who are prepared for it For instance, Michael Faraday, the famous physicist, discovered one of the most important laws in physics by chance But I think that it's not surprising that he was lucky then Faraday had studied so deeply this subject that he was ready to investigate this phenomenon, conduct experiments about it, and finally formulate it, so that all people can use it And finally, I think that there are situations in which luck prevails over hard work and knowledge, and without it the person can't achieve anything There are also people who traditionally have bad luck, and it's very difficult for them to succeed For example, my cousin worked day and night over a project and finally completed it just a day before the deadline Unfortunately, the next day when he was reviewing it for the last time he spilled his cup of coffee over it The project was useless, and because of his bad luck my cousin got a poor mark In summary, I think that both hard work and luck are crucial to one's development, but we should work hard in order to ensure success as much as possible, although sometimes bad luck may make our effort useless But after all, we can't depend on something we can't control
