Hard Work or Luck?

[resources]

" When people succeed, it is because of hard work. Luck has nothing to do with success". Do you agree or disagree with quotation above?

Use specific reason and examples to support your opinion.  


Hard working is the main key to every step of success but luck has also some role to achieve those successes. So many people's are there in this world who work very hard but still do not meet their basic need. They are below the line of poverty and are dying of starvation. From my everyday experience and observation I can totally disagree with the statement. I think people should have good luck also to lead their hard work towards success.

At first, I would like to give an example to support my opinion. Famous football player Diego Maradona was nothing more than a good player among his friends, before he found by a coach, playing football amazingly in a ground. Then he took maradona and trained him, letter he become worlds champion football player. So far as I know about him every single person who has listen about football or who love football, know his name. This achievement is not only the result of his hard work. To get found by coach is his good luck.

Furthermore, Without hard work it is not possible to find your destination, you should have update knowledge and skills to finalize your task. It doesn't mean that luck has nothing to do with finding your destination, it brings opportunity and chances for you to show your talent and skills, to express and prove yourself. To illustrate, when I was in college i had one friend, who was very smart, talent and very hard working but he couldn't attempt his final exam because of his cycle accident on the first day of final exam and got late for graduation, but luckly he got chance to work with the professor.
Even being well prepared he couldn't attempt his exam and even without graduation he got chance to work on his professors lab. These ups and downs in his life is not because of his hard work but because of his luck.

Last but not least, luck always influence our success. You can not be always successful on the basis of your hard work. your luck shows you the way toward your success and you have to reach there with the help of your hard work. So only hard work is not always the source of success, you need luck to achieve it.

I think that sometimes luck and hard work working at the same time can help, but nowdays, I can see few people who obtein some benefiths just for having good conections at work or office.

I had been in some situations, where I know good people at work but they dont take them because they have bad relations betwen their coworkers or even their boss.

they are both important in the sense that they make one's life happier. for some it is possible to achieve success and more than that they are the ones who re able  to decide and go for what makes them happy and have got the means to achieve it because they have their families support.others can just keep looking for that success , but they do not find it because of misfortune  and also other thgs such as lack of means . in this respect hard work can lead to success but sometimes it takes a long time to get it and people get frustrated and lose hope.

Hard work plays an extremely important role in success...but luck also does.  I once heard that luck is when hard work meets opportunity...or something like that.  I think its an apt saying.  But what about variables such as opportunity and knowledge and experience.  So many factors go into making one successful.
