Confucius,the greatest and most influential philosopher and educator of ancient china, commented,”Luck is the factor in success.”But,nowadays, some people think that success is because of hard work, and luck is not important for someone who succeed,
The way I see it, Luck is a chiefly constituent of people succeed.
In my high school English class, I was taught a real story, a story about an African man called Cinque who slew a most terrifying beast that any one has ever seen, a lion.His siblings in the village who knew about this anecdote gave him great respect and call him the big man.
Howeven he told the truth later.
“It had killed several people, even hunters amony is,Everyone includly me was afraid”.
“I was lying down with my family, when out of nowhere it appeared.”
“As it came for me, I picked up a big rock and I threw it .And that wasn’t bravery, because any man would do the same to protect his family.
“But by some miracle,yousee, I hit it , I don’t know how that killed it , but it did. A rock ,you see, a rock.
“I received the gratitude of everyone in the village, I was given respect, They treated we as if I was a prince. They give me the finest country choth. All those things they give me , I took them all , But I knew I didn’t deserve it ,for when I threw that rock at that beast, if I missed it, I wouldn’t be sitting here today trying to explain these things to you or somebody else, I’d just be dead, I’m not a big man,just a lucky one!”
But why do people think we need not luck to success? Mathematicians describe it appears that something has an extremely small probability but it does happen, so luck does exist,People often say,one has to have an opportunity so succeed, In this case, Luck is the oppotunity, and to some extent is an indispensable factor to achieve success.
To summarize,when people say luck has nothing to do with success, I wonder it is not to deny existence of luck,but to encourage, Luck is some where, but nobody knows where, It happened sometime,But nobody knows when,By contrast, Hard work is something that every one can count on, and asis often the case, hard work bring luck maybe, Therefore, luck itself is of no hope, and lack of luck should not be an excuse to failure.
