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?"

Hardworking ,without a doubt, is one of the main steps toward success,but there is some other factor that should be considered and many people ,especially successful ones,do not want to admit this factor plays an important role in their path through the top;that factor is luck.It means that success in this world isn't entirly a matter of hard work and merit,but the mysterious mystical factor known as "luck" plays an enormous role.

Many wants to beleive that we live in a world where every way through being rich,successfull and important "somebody" goes through hardworking and determination.People really don't like to acknowledge the role play by accident in their lives.As an exmple ;they say:" my hardworking gave me the qualification in school and then university and all through life".This kind of beleif is a perfect illustration of what psychologists like to call "illusion of control".People like to feel they are in control of their lives.Psychologists have shown through a number of ingeniuos experiments, in situations where both luck and skill play a role,people have a tendency to overestimate the importance of their skills.Even when they have no control over the outcomes,pepole often act as if they do,that's why people like to pick their own lottery numbers.

Furthermore;what makes luck a very essential factor in our lives is that,we don't choose our parents or social class which we born to, and luck isn't exactly evenly distributed in society.Researchers have demonstrated that those born poor have only 10% chance to win in a battle of struggling upward,while one third of those born into the top socioeconomic classes of society are able to hold on to their social class position.

To make a long story short;luck always influences our success.The importance of being in the right place at the right time,(which is a

    Luck has always been a word that can stir up a debate on whether or not it exists. Some people believe luck exists and there’s nothing you can do to change your failure or success. Yet there are others that believe the actions you partake in to reach many opportunities will determine success or failure. Personally I agree with the following notion by Oprah Winfrey that says “luck is a matter of preparation meeting opportunity.” My reasons for agreeing are because the actions you take will always determine your outcome and preparation is a great factor when faced with any and all opportunities.…

    Some people believe that fate determines everything that happens in your life. While others believe that your hard work is what makes you successful. Which one is right? Two authors, Emily Dickinson and Malcolm Gladwell have the same statement, but which one better states that “How much of our lives do we actually control?” Emily wrote a poem that is called “Luck is not chance” this poem states that you have to work hard to be successful. Gladwell takes the same side as Emily, but Gladwell’s stronger evidence leads people to believe that he is better at proving the question “How much of our lives do we actually control?”…

    Every goal we list isn't just a dream, we will sacrifice everything in order to achieve it, and every obstacle we overcome, strengths our expectations in succeeding. Through every step, we question our luck, some of us fail and when they do, the only excuse they give is "bad luck". In my opinion, luck does exist but it won't play a huge roll in us if we worked hard enough.…

    Merry Shelly’s Frankenstein shows how Victor ignores many things like his social life, family and most of all his own creation. Victor Frankenstein ignores the creature completely; he doesn’t give the creature any of his attention. The creature tries his best to get Victor’s attention by talking to him first, but when that doesn’t work on Victor; the creature changes his game to violence. Merry Shelly shows that you cannot ignore problems, you can either confront them positively or they will require your attention through negative responses.…

    To serve, as it does, to convince those with lack of motivation, or perhaps imagination, to remain stagnant with the hope that chance will smile upon them, the concept of luck is a farce. This is a truism that successful people understand. In fact, most successful people will state this truth almost as a proverb. For example, Oprah Winfrey has been quoted as saying, “Luck is a matter of preparation meeting opportunity.” Oprah Winfrey has the innate understanding that luck isn’t really luck at all. In fact, luck is the culmination of hard work.…

    Another may feel as if their hard work paid off. Preparing to do something typically is done with an end goal in mind, and luck is random. An example of this is; I submitted my resume online looking for a job. I got an e-mail for a highly profitable company with the most ideal position, that I did not qualify for, yet they offered me a job. I did not prepare for the job, nor did I have the proper education, but I was lucky enough to get the offer without being prepared. If I had the proper education for the position, I wouldn't feel lucky, I would feel like the education paid off the way I intended it to. So, is the opportunity where luck comes…
