People, politicians or artists, teachers or scientists, crave for successes in both their careers and lives. Some people believe that good luck plays a crucial role in their pursuits of accomplishment, but I strongly support the quotation that hard work is the only approach to one~{!/~}s success.
Hard work is the real reason for one~{!/~}s success. Diligence enables people to have the right skills to get a job done and to be well-prepared for the coming of luck. It also invites luck and indicates people how to seize luck. Take the discovery of America-the biggest lucky mistake in the history as an example. Although it seemingly was a result of Columbus~{!/~}s misdirected trips that were originally for the purpose of looking for India, it was indeed Columbus~{!/~}s years of studying, calculating and searching for sponsors that ensured the success of those trips. If no his hard work, there would be no his trips and consequently no the discovery of the new land at that time.
In addition, history presents us a lot of examples of people whose success are actually backed up by their own diligence. Newton, for instance, got the inspiration by a really lucky chance when a ripe apple fell down on his head, and, through his further study, he finally formed a very important theory-the law of universal gravitation, which is still universally applied in many areas today. In fact, his cumulate experience in physics drove him to notice the valuable phenomenon and his later efforts made on developing his origin thought lead him to his final success. Another good example is the prolific inventor Edison whose invention of light bulb was based on hundreds of failed experiments.
Success that comes from pure luck and no hard work can be a problem. Consider a young vase actress who is known only for her good looking. As the time fleets, her beauty will be fade and thus she will lose what she is possessing now. But if she spends years learning something helpful for her career, she can handle stardom better and become a real success in stardom.
In a word, instead of continuously looking forward to good luck, people should work hard to achieve their successes. Only by hard work can good luck knock your door!
