3. Sample  

     I disagree with the statement because luck, which is beyond control of hard work, frequently plays a crucial role in our success.              

     To begin with, economic situation has strong effect on whether we can succeed or not in business.  While we can enjoy healthy economic growth, there would be plenty of business opportunities.  In contrast, when economy is under great recession or depression, there would be little chance of success however hard we may work.  Therefore, although hard work is essential part of success, it also depends on economic environment to be successful in business.                                     

     In addition, without innate talent, we would not succeed in sports and art.  Some people inherently have good athletic or artistic sense.  For example, you could not accumulate 262 hits in the Major league baseball like Ichiro, no matter how hard you may practice.  And you would not compose numerous beautiful melodies like Paul McCartney if you were not a genius in music.  This does not mean they don’t work hard.  On the contrary, Ichiro is well known for his intensive hard training.                                                                                                         

     Finally, when it comes to agriculture and fishery, weather has had significant effect on harvest.  It has been reported that due to global warming as a result of climate change, prolonged draught in some parts of the world, such as California, has had very negative impact on agricultural produce.  Because climate change has been caused by the cumulative effects of human activities, there are not any immediate measures to improve weather conditions.                          

     It is true that some people may succeed despite harsh economic situation or weather conditions, or without innate talent.  However, because of the three reasons I mentioned above, I disagree with the statement that luck has nothing to do with success.

 

To be continued.
