It is believed that achieving goals in life is generally a matter of fate rather than of sacrifice and effort. Although luck plays a fundamental role in succeeding in purposes, I think it is not the only variable we can rely on. On the contrary, we have to take into account unforeseen events happening when planning to achieve an aim.
First and foremost, I think that nothing is gifted to us. When we want to achieve a goal, we have to make a significant effort and hard work work hard. Since we want to obtain a specific result, we have to strive for it, it won’t simply come to us. For example, a man planned to build his own business one day, and in the end, he succeeded and made it. This was the result of his perseverance, not just a lucky gift. He had probably studied hard, ; he might have saved money to invest in his company, and it may have taken a lot of time to open it. In addition, I believe that we have the power of affecting to affect our results. We have to be positive as long as we are trying try hard to obtain what we want. For instance, if a girl is practicing for an exam and she starts thinking she will fail it, the result is more likely to be negative, because she is setting her mind as she has already failed. Good energy, on the contrary, may influence our results in a positive way.
On the other hand, despite fate being an affecting element while achieving a goal, it covers only a little small percentage of all variables existing. Lots of people believe that our destiny is already written and that we have no control over it. However, this is wrong. We can change our future by believing in ourselves and working hard. If the girl who is preparing for her exam believes that her score has already been decided, she will rely on this belief and she will stop practicing. Furthermore, we cannot rely on luck, as it is unpredictable. For instance, the girl cannot rely on the idea that the exam will be easy and that she will have no difficulty in taking it, because she cannot know how difficult the exam will be, and circumstances may not be as favourable as she expects. This is to say that we cannot prevent the future, and as a consequence, we can trust only ourselves and our own efforts.
To conclude, even if I cannot deny the fact that luck has a relevant influence on our success in goals, I believe that it cannot define our results all by itself. Contrarily, we have the power of setting to set our own achievements by working hard and believing in ourselves.
