When people succeed， it is because of hard work. Luck has nothing to do with success. Do you agree or disagree with the quotation above？ Use specific reasons and examples to explain your position.
The Role of Luck in Success
It has been said that when people succeed， it is because of hard work and that luck has nothing to do with success. Although I believe that hard work is very important and is the surest way to success for most people， I must disagree with this statement. It cannot be denied that luck often plays an important role in success. For example， many important discoveries have been made by accident. There have been many cases of researchers and inventors making major breakthroughs while they were actually trying to solve another problem or create a different device.
Furthermore， there is something to be said for simply being in the right place at the right time-perhaps meeting someone by chance who can offer a good job or rare opportunity. And of course， there are the rare examples of gamblers and lottery winners who beat the odds and achieve sudden and unexpected success.
While the influence of luck cannot be ignored， this is not to say that one should depend on it and ignore the value of hard work. If one is willing to work hard， I believe that success will eventually be achieved， with or without the added benefit of luck. Moreover， hard work is often an essential ingredient of luck because it enables one to take advantage of a lucky encounter. If the scientist has not worked hard to develop his knowledge and skills， he may not recognize that lucky breakthrough when it comes along. Therefore， my suggestion is not to count on luck to bring you success. Instead， work hard and keep your eyes open for that lucky opportunity.
运气在成功里所扮演的角色
有人说一个人会成功是因为努力，而运气和成功则是一点关系也没有。虽然我相信努力很重要，而且对大部分的人来说，努力是成功最可靠的方法，可是我不得不反对这种说法。能否成功，运气扮演着一个很重要的角色，这是不可否认的事实。例如，很多重要的发现都是在偶然情况下发生的。有很多实例表明，有重大突破的研究人员和发明家，原本是要试图解决其他问题或是发明别的仪器。
而且，仅仅是天时地
地利这方面也有一些关系--也许是偶然碰到能提供好的工作和珍贵机会的人。当然也有极少数赌徒和彩票得主得到突如其来、意想不到的成功。
尽管运气的影响力不容忽视，但也不表示人就应该完全靠运气，而忽视努力的价值。如果一个人愿意努力，不论有没有运气额外的帮助，我相信终究还是会成功。此外，因为努力能让人充分利用幸运的机会，所以努力通常也是运气的必要因素。如果科学家没有努力培养自己的知识和技巧，那么当某个幸运的突破出现时，他可能也看不出来。因此，我建议大家不要指望运气能带来成功。相反地，应该努力，并随时注意不要错过任何好机会。
