"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.


-         Bill Gates dropped out of school, Steve Jobs dropped out of college, and Einstein was considered mentally ill. If I tried dropping out of school, college and even acted mentally ill. I would end up living on the streets or in a blank plain white room with my hands crossed around my body instead of living a happy life with money and power. I think it was just luck.
-         Most people have dreams. A doctor, fireman, superman, engineer etc. It would make you happy just to be able to live a life with your dream job and wife, but people that achieve their dreams don’t work hard. They’re all just lucky. Steve Jobs and Bill Gates had this crazy idea of ‘Windows’, or a company with a half bitten apple logo, and they pursued their ideas and dreams. With luck, they changed the views of humanity.
-          If only life was that easy. Today, people work as hard as possible and some don’t even achieve their goals, some just give up because of the amount of work, and some just use their talents to live their life.  Michael Jackson was once a beggar in the streets of America. He used dance and sing with his brothers and sisters to save his family from starvation. He did work hard, not to be successful though, but to be able to feed his family. He was then just picked up from the streets by a random American music producer and there it was. He became the legend and king of pop. He was, and still, is an idol. MJ was lucky that man happened to be passing by. What if that man never existed, then MJ wouldn’t even be ‘MJ’. This is all just luck.
-         Therefore, luck is all that a person needs to survive the world. Luck is the main weapon a person should have and need to survive and live a happy life. Therefore I disagree with the quotation.
