No.10 “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.
In my point of view, luck really matters on our business, but hard working is the essential way to achieve success. One cannot keep their enterprise prosperous long if they do not dedicate their brilliance and talents, even if he leads a happy life with the help with luck. So it seems true that what you should do is through making sustained efforts in your daily life and get well prepared, when luck knocks at the door, you can rapidly (promptly or) build attainment.
There are really some lucky dogs who(that) never experience tough times or taste the failure in fierce competition with other rivals(antagonists), because at that time, the realm he works in meets the need of the market, and his products sells well without needing to consider other aspects like cost-control or selling strategy. However, the foundation of his cooperation is so fragile (or frail) that it may have little resistance toward the freeze and crisis of the market. When other opponents join to share the cake, accompanied with great decline (descend) of the price and TV sets filling with kinds of ads of the same product, those lucky guys may be festinate to face the challenge and cannot prolong their good fortune. Countless examples tell us about the law of the market, only those who delicate numerous efforts on the quality of products and see through the profound consuming desire of the customers can make their enterprise long-live.
However, we also find that many people who spare no efforts in their career still couldn't get ideal results that they want. Most of the time, the majority of them chose a wrong direction, and as the saying goes "Those who move faster and die more quickly in the wrong direction", if the whole market is saturated with big companies with huge capital and ample(abundant) human resource, or the initial capital to start a industry required in this area is extremely high like the real estate, just one person with scarce money but want to make a fortune through hard working may suffer a lot, since he almost have no chance (qualification) to enter the competition. Besides the cause of choosing wrong direction, there are also some factors (ingredients and equations) like the policy changing. For instance, thousands of companies start smelting steel several years ago in that China is in short of iron products. However, after the government ordered every province to close those steel plants which were in uncompetitive scale and brought about serious pollution to the environment, those entrepreneurs have no choice but to face the doom of failure. Last but not the least, man couldn't ignore the role that luck plays. It seems luck also differs according to the situations, some is created when you are working hard and accumulate the experience and set close relationship with the people in the field. Other may be attributed to the kindness of the god, it is just time for you to succeed with no reason. Take Bill Gates for example, he was crazy about computer and providently grasp the precious opportunity to write operation system for personal computer. With tight cooperation with IBM, he catch the pulse of information tide and make a lot of fortune during the 70s last century. Suppose if the computer development came later, and other people like Jobs (former CEO of Apple co.) also find the chance, Gates may have a long way to go. But that’s just a imagination. For those in synchronous time with Gates, they cannot predict the birth of computer when it really come into being and before they implement their reaction, Gates get the first step. That’s luck exactly, but we should respect his prodigious efforts. So in summary, man has to have a comprehensive view about what field he is devoting to and choose the right way of doing things, when the direction is set up, he can get well prepared for the future by diligent work. Luck may really come and you may even create luck yourself. God will always help those who help themselves.
