Speech on luck and its importance in life
Answers
Although, hard work is the key to success, luck has its fair share of influence on it. I believe that both the things should go hand in hand in order to gain the rewards. So, I totally think that luck plays important role in our life.
Hard work and perseverance are very essential to success. But, one can't taste success only by that. For example, there are two doctors. Both have worked hard for their career, are almost equally knowledgeable and skilled in their profession. But, it can so happen that the clinic of one doctor is running extremely well and making millions of dollars, but that of the other one is barely generating any income. This is where luck comes into account. In spite of the hard work, if one is not lucky he may not be successful. Some examples are,
o John Woods, a senior partner in a large legal firm, narrowly escaped death when he left his office in one of the Twin Towers in New York seconds before the building was struck by a hijacked aircraft. This is not the only time that he has been lucky. He was on the thirty-ninth floor of the World Trade Center when it was bombed in 1993, but escaped without injury. In 1988, he was scheduled to be on the Pan-Am flight that exploded above Lockerbie in Scotland, but canceled at the last minute because he had been cajoled into attending an office party.
o Luck plays a hugely significant role in many different aspects of our lives. Luck has the power to transform both our personal and professional lives. To many, this is a terrifying idea. Most people like to think that they are in control of their future. They try hard to obtain certain outcomes and avoid others. But, to a large extent, this feeling of control is an illusion. Luck makes a mockery of even our best intentions. It has the power to change everything, within seconds, for better or worse. And it can do so any time, any place, and without warning.
