10."When people succeed in life, it is because of hard work. Being lucky has nothing to do with success in life." Do you agree or disagree with the quotation above? Use specific reasons and examples to explain your position.First of all to succeed in life the most important thing is to work hard. By working hard you can achieve the things that you want out of life. It starts from the earliest school years. If you study hard it will be easier for you, when you finish school, to get a good job.
That’s what we all want to achieve in life, a good job, a family and a Ferrari Enzo F-50 (At least that is what I want!) However everything isn’t achieved only by working hard, you have to be lucky too. For example, you have studied hard all those years in school and you start a business, without knowing if its going to succeed or not. Everything might go wrong and so all those school years were for nothing.
On the other hand someone else that has finished school but not worked hard, can also start a business. He has luck and everything goes perfectly. He buys a big mansion , a S-class Mercedes. Everything goes fine with him. This is a true example of one of my relatives. This is being lucky. But in life you cant be always guarantee to be lucky. So to succeed in life most of the time you have to work very hard. Not everyone has good luck, so working hard is the best solution.
For conclusion I think being lucky is something important in life but studying hard is more important , because not everyone has so much luck. You never know in life.”Where amazing things happen when you least expect them!”
This was Erdiol's first attempt at answering a TOEFL essay question. Erdiol discovered staying on track and really answering the question and not getting off track is more difficult that he expected.
