Is success made by only efforts? We are thought that when we were young. But as we grow, there were opposite situation. When I was high school student, one of my friends is very good at math. Unfortunately, math exam in KSAT (Korean Scholastic Aptitude Test) was very easy so many most of people get as high score in math. So his good head for mathematics give him any advantage. In my friend’s experience, luck is as important as effort.
Many well-known success people are lucky guy. One of them is Obama who is the president of U.S is lucky guy. Of course he is smart, and has good leadership and his efforts made him as first African American President. Furthermore his appearance is very fresh to Americans who were sick of the Bush administration. Actually Americans want to wind of change and Obama is right person to their desire.
Luck is not bad thing or rather not all luck is bad. Someone said luck makes people lazy. Yes. If you want luck came to you and miraculous you did what you can’t do without any efforts, it is just miracle, there is no moved story that didn’t impress yourself or others. Luck which I mean makes your success complete. For example, if you did success in invent very useful thing to our life. But you don’t have much money to spread it. Then someone who appreciates your invention and your talent is appeared in front of you. What a luck it is.
Luck is not coming by itself. “The harder I practice, the luckier I get.” One of the most successful golfers Gary Player said that. “Formula for success: Rise early, work hard, strike oil”. J. Paul Getty who founded the Getty Oil Company said. What is the common thing among these quotes? They try to work hard and then luck is coming.
‘Heaven helps those who help themselves’. This proverb was used to make people work hard. It is right. But I add more that if you try hard as heaven is moved, heaven give you a chance that let you get more success. I call this chance as luck. Effort is vital element to success but luck make success perfect.
