In our life, most of us want to be successful people and hard work is very necessary to get that. However, luck also is a important thing.

There are many reasons when people succeeded. But two main reasons are: working hard and luck. So I disagree with the quotation.

When people succeed, it is because of hard work. Luck has nothing to do with success. I dont agree with the quotation above. There are two reasons to example your position. Important!!!: you must state the reasons right inside the intro.

For example, some people have job skills but they dont have a good job because a simple reason, they are not lucky enough

For example, Chung Mongo, the Huyndais Chairman, his family were farmer, his childhood was farmer. But he did not worry, he has worked hard and the success has come to him. Not a good writing part, but good example

In a word, I suppose that if someone want to be successful, he need to have many characters: hard-working, determination, friend-supported, patient (never give up) and of course, a bit lucky. Lucky can give us more than what we can imagine, right?
Important!!!: must restate what we wrote before.
