Destiny:
Hard work perhaps can be rated as the best personality trait of a person's attributes. There can be no substitute for hard work. I believe in hard work. I love hard working people. People will always respect and love hard working persons.
There is a saying "success is from 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration.
It is obvious that we need intelligence and hard work for success in life.
Nevertheless, there is one more very important factor, which helps you be successful. That is your destiny.
You may call it as destiny or God's blessing. I strongly believe without God's blessing we cannot go anywhere near success.
I want to make myself clear to my readers that I do believe in hard work as you do. At the same time, I believe that hard work alone cannot gift you success. We need the favorable gift of Destiny, hard work and intelligence to travel the road of success. The simple arithmetic formula is:
Favorable destiny+ hard work +intelligence= Success
'Our destiny is in our own hands' ' the saying goes. But how
far this is true is a moot question indeed!
'Where there is a will, there is a way' ' goes the adage, but how practical is it in today's context is something that is to be scrutinized threadbare. Hard work and perseverance are the two keys to success. We can shape our own destiny by hard work and perseverance. But, what if we don't succeed even after working hard and persevering? I don't want to sound pessimistic though, but let me put forth some moot points before you. I've often felt and believed that we can shape our destiny to our liking, by hard work and perseverance. But, when I don't succeed even after working hard and persevering, I lose faith in these values and feel that the destiny has something else in store for me and we are just slaves to it. I feel that no matter however hard we work and persevere, destiny controls us and our future and we are bound to follow it demurely. When we don't succeed even after working hard and persevering to achieve our most cherished and coveted goal(s), we feel that the destiny does not want us to become what we wanted to become. There is then a shift of ambition and focus. We have a try at other things and when we finally do succeed and settle in something else, then we feel, perhaps this is what the destiny wanted to make me and wanted me to pursue. But, on the other hand, I feel all this talk of destiny and believing in it blindly are the signs of a weak-minded person who wants to avoid his responsibilities. A strong person will weather every storm of the destiny, come what may, to achieve his goals! He'll not (and should not) merely accept what destiny has to offer him. He'll fight for what he wants for himself from destiny. There goes a saying ' 'Shallow men believe in luck, strong men believe in cause and effect.' This holds very true of persons who believe in themselves and in the values of hard work and perseverance. Just because you didn't get something or couldn't achieve your cherished goal ' even after a lot of hard work and perseverance ' you shouldn't settle for something inferior, which you may feel the destiny has to offer you or has offered you! Always be a fighter and fight until your last breath for accomplishing your dreams. This is a world of cut-throat and ruthless competition. Remember, in this world there is no place for quitters because ' 'Winners never quit and quitters never win.' |

I think this statement is very true to a certain
extent. There is no such thing as luck. You determine your own destiny. This is
because nothing comes free and easy in this world, it is you who have to work
for it. There is also a saying,"99% comes from hard work only 1% comes
from luck". Miracles do happen but very seldom. I always believe that it
only happen to people who are very hardworking.
There are also some examples of activity which is mostly base on luck like gambling. In this game, most of it is base on luck, but it is also possible to put in hard work like training. This is because practise makes perfect. Gamblers can also put in hard work to practice and get more exposure to the different situations, to train themselves to be more skilled and experienced. There are also examples of people who won in gambling or lottery due to luck. Therefore there is also something called beginners luck.
For example in an examination, the result and grades that you receive all depends on the amount of hard work you put in. This is because the probability of a person getting very good grades without studying is very low. Even those geniuses have to put in the minimum amount of hard work in order to succeed. You cannot always depend on luck, as it does not affirm your success but hard work does. One such example is Thomas Edison. He had failed so many times before he could successfully invented the lightbulb. This proves that his hard had finally work paid off. I believe that always depending on luck will not get you too far in life. Although luck can also determine your destiny but very seldom does it happen. Therefore, it really depend on individual, if they want to be assured of themselves having a good future then they must put in hard work otherwise the outcome might not be what they wanted or expected. However, there are also some cases where people put in a lot of hard work but the result came out to be not what the wanted, this may due to the wrong method.
There are also people who are always happy-go-lucky. They have this devil-may-care attitude. In other words they are just being cheerfully irresponsible. They are the ones who strongly depends on luck and do not put in any hard work.
Therefore, I conclude that ones destiny lies within his hand, it really depends on how much hard work he wants to put in or just purely depend on luck. Hard work will determine ones destiny but definitely not luck.
