The TOEFL essay
The essay topic: “When people succeed, it is because of hard work. Luck has nothing to do with success.” Do you agree or disagree with the quotation above? Use specific reasons and examples to explain your position.
Working hard day by day can lead to the success but not always. One of the main keys to success is being on the sharp of recent trends. However, luck also may play not the last role in overall result. In my opinion, people should not mostly rely on luck, but they also need take into account is that there is no guarantee immediately to have expected result just because the hard work was done.
For a start, it is proven by many famous people that besides working hard, the successful result is also highly depend from special occasion. For example, when Italian scientist L. Galvanie was observing frog's body, he occasionally found that when its foot touch two different connectors made of copper and lead, the frog begin shrinking. The scientist supposed that this was result of electricity in body of frog, however, later it was proven wrong and mistaken. In fact, when two different types of metal is connected then electrical transmission begin to work producing electricity. Although Galvanie wrongly made assumption about the nature of electricity, the experiment gave the first understanding what electric power is.
For another reason why luck plays essential role, it could be said that to become famous, there also can be a requirement from luck to be involved in. Many sport starts, actors, politicians and so on, became famous and totally changed their lives, and merit for this lies to that fact that they were chosen by luck. Another words, the matter of success is determined by chances of each person differently.
Also, it is presumptuous to judge another according to their apparent fortunate. No man can truly understand the suffering of his neighbor. A man who appears comfortably rich may have suffered elsewhere in his life - through the death of a loved one. Retired businessmen have often worked long hours in their youth. Surely, it must be wiser to respect achievement than to deny that anyone has achieved good in the world.
To conclude, if somebody want to be successful then they need work hard and do not lose the hope every time when they meet some obstacles. However, success not always relies on hard working, it incorporates occasions, unexpected aftermath, and, of course, luck.
