The role of luck in success

Greetings!

The life we are in we not always give us what we deserve but with luck and the mercy of God, I believe success is guaranteed

Having said this, I would delve into the topic that talks about hardwork. One thing I have got to know about life is that for one to succeed in life, one must work.

To work hard is good and it's something I cherished so much and this is because it's our work that would put food on our table. Even the bible says, “ there's no food for a lazy man.” What this simply means is that a man must work to earn a living.

So, seeing this topic really makes me happy and this is because of the nature of the topic which has to do with earning a living.

Furthermore, working hard is good. But I didn't believe it guaranteed success in life as there is a place of luck and the mercy of God.

Although, to work hard is good like I have said earlier and to be candid with us, I'm living witness of hard work as I have laboured all my life, but even with my working hard, I have not really achieved what I supposed to have achieved reason being that, I have no connection with people at the highest echelon. Though, I have always tried my best to get connected but all to no avail.

This has really affected me so much as luck as not really being smiling on me. Though, I'm not where I used to be, but even at that, I'm not where I supposed to be and seeing my friends doing great in life with their right connection without even working hard is something that I envy them so much

No wonder there's a saying in my language that says, “if there's no one to help you, then it will take time to succeed in life.” This saying to me is very correct and I'm also praying for such luck so that my journey will be as fast as that of my friends.

So, hard work alone cannot make one to get to once promise land. It's luck and connection that can take us to our promised land.

So, when luck smiles on anyone, to achieve great things would be easy as it will grease us to our destination without any form of difficulty. So, for our just to be fast in life we need luck and connection on our sides as this will definitely spur us to our destination with ease.

What luck would do within a month, hard work would take a lifetime to achieve it even with immense difficulty.

In conclusion, my own belief is that hard work is not enough to drive us to success in life, but with luck and right connection, success is guaranteed.
