努力比机会更重要作文

Answer 1

　　蝉是一种很奇特的昆虫,它的卵在地下要经过七年的成长期,以至形成了浑身的硬壳,才从坚硬的土层下爬出.一般是凌晨的时候,它们从地面爬上树干,脱去“铠甲”,高声鸣叫,度过一个夏天,然后死去……没有蝉鸣的夏天便不是真正的夏天.
　　转念一想,我们人生不是也向蝉一样吗?从出生到长大以至到最后死亡,同样经历了风风雨雨.可是结果却各不相同：蝉把生命的全部都用在了唱歌上,用尽心血.而我们中有些人呢,只不过吃喝玩乐而已.由此可知,蝉的生命：充满意义；而有些人的生命：无所事事.
　　海伦凯勒,是一个又盲又聋又哑,忍受着三重痛苦的人,但她凭着她那坚强的信念,终于战胜了自己,走完了人生之路,体现了自身的价值.
　
　但你可知道,海伦凯勒想要成功却付出多大的努力?当海伦凯勒十九个月大,一场疾病让她三重残疾时,生理的剧变,令小海伦性情大变,直到在沙莉文女士地帮
助下,两人手携手,心连心,唤醒了海伦那沉睡的意志力量,让海伦感觉到了光明.长大后,海伦学会了写稿、游泳、甚至会划船和骑马.最后取得了成功.
　
　电影明星史泰龙,在未成名前十分落魄.当时,他立志要当演员,信心十足地跑到纽约电影公司应聘,都因为外貌不出众以及说话咬字不清而遭拒绝.在被拒绝了
一千五百次以后,他写了《洛基》剧本,并且拿着剧本四处推荐,又被拒绝了一千八百次,但是,他不灰心,终于遇到一名接纳他的老板.坚持到底的史泰龙如愿以
偿,最后成为名闻国际影坛的超级巨星.
　　由此可知,每一位人想要成功都不是轻而易举的,都必须要付出努力,坚持不懈才行,就像蝉一样努力奋斗一生而成功,像海伦凯勒一样身残志坚而成功,像史泰龙一样面对多次失败永不放弃而成功!

"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.

When people succeed, it is because of hard work, but luck has a lot to do with it, too. Success without some luck is almost impossible. The French emperor Napoleon said of one of his generals, "I know he's good. But is he lucky?" Napoleon knew that all the hard work and talent in the world can't make up for bad luck. However, hard work can invite good luck.

When it comes to success, luck can mean being in the right place to meet someone, or having the right skills to get a job done. It might mean turning down an offer and then having a better offer come along. Nothing can replace hard work, but working hard also means you're preparing yourself for opportunity. Opportunity very often depends on luck.

How many of the great intentions and discoveries came about through a lucky mistake or a lucky chance? One of the biggest lucky mistakes in history is Columbus' so-called discovery of America. He enriched his sponsors and changed history, but he was really looking for India. However, Columbus' chance discovery wasn't pure luck. It was backed up by years of studying and calculating. He worked hard to prove his theory that the world was round.

Success that comes from pure luck and no hard work can be a real problem. For example, consider a teenage girl who becomes a movie star. Imagine she's been picked from nowhere because of her looks. She is going to feel very insecure, because she knows she didn't do anything to earn her stardom. On the other hand, think about an actress who's spent years learning and working at her craft. When she finally has good luck and becomes a success, she will handle stardom better. She knows she earned it.

People who work hard help make their own luck by being ready when opportunity knocks. When it comes to success, I think that hard work and luck go hand in hand.
