The Role of Hard-Work in Achieving a Dream There is no success followed by merely luck. Luck only plays a slight role in a pursuit of success. Hard-work plays the most. A saying “success is consist of 99% hard-work and 1% luck” is not a fallacy. It is a motivation so you do not stop struggling and wait for luck, but to make your efforts harder. Term “success” applies differently on every people. An achievement that one person considers as a success may not be the same for others. But still, people often envy others who have achieved what they dreamed of. People commonly think that other person is more plummy so that they be more successful in life. For example, you are experiencing difficulties finding a job that fits you and you see many of your friends already got their dream job. They talk about how much they love their current job. You may begin to think how lucky they are for getting the job easily. In the end, you start being jealous. Is everybody can reach their success? Yes, they can. It is really possible. But to note that every person has different pathway to achieve what each of them considers as a success. As I mentioned above, success applies differently on each person, so that the way to make it is also different. There is no need to envy others’ success. The important thing to reach your own success is work hard on your dream. There will always be failures along the way. There will be a lot of challenges you have to face. But instead of blaming yourself by being misfortune, it is better to learn from the past and figure out what made you fail. How hard will you devote yourself to achieve what you are really dreaming of?
