Whether someone achieves their goal or not is by a question of luck. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Each individual has different goals in life. Some hunger after financial freedom, some yearn for emotional intimacy, others merely wish to be physically healthy. It is argued that in order to achieve such goals, luck is the single most intrinsic factor. In my estimation, this view should be analysed from multiple perspectives.

To many people, success comes with a stroke of luck. This is especially true in the music and film industries, where there are a number of popular artists who are not at all talented. They turned into celebrities simply because they have the means to pay to be on TV or the radio. I myself consider these people, who were born with a silver spoon in their mouth and receive financial assistance from their wealthy family members, lucky.

On the other side of the argument, luck alone is not enough to secure success or to fulfil aims in the modern world. One salient example that can be given to corroborate this view is the story of Nguyen Ha Dong, a renowned Vietnamese game designer who caused a fleeting public sensation with his game “Flappy Bird”. Many would think that he was made a millionaire simply by chance, however, little do they know that “Flappy Bird” is only one of countless other games that never managed to draw public attention. Had he given up early after those failures, he would have never found himself a member of the Vietnamese elite. Therefore, in this case, his hard work, passion and determination should be regarded as his recipe for success, instead of luck.

All things considered, the secret behind success is not just luck, it involves blood, sweat and tears. As wisdom says, “destiny is ultimately in our hands, as it is determined by the choices we make”.
