TOEFL essay samples: When people succeed, it’s because of hard work Sat Mar 10, 2007 15:30 pm  TOEFL essay samples: When people succeed, it’s because of hard work
 

When people succeed, it’s because of hard work. Luck has nothing to do with success.” Do you agree with the quotation above? Use specific reasons end examples to explain your position.

Life is a mystery, and the right way to solve it is realizing the basic principles of being. One of the most important principles is that there are no impossible things at this world. I believe that there is no such thing like luck. I’ll try to prove my statement in the follow part of this essay.

First, one of the great power in this world is human will. It’s a shield against every hurdle in the life, but the iron will might be the golden arrow, which always hit the target. Although, many people believe that many things are impossible, I think that they don’t realize their own accomplishments. Therefore, they refuse to achieve the their aims. If someone really believe in something and work hard to achieve it, it’ll succeed. For example the famous monument in the mount Rushmore had been engraved from the author around 13 years. I will give another example, which is more interesting. In the Russian history is noted one unusual case. In the second world war one pilot who serve in the russian air force lose his legs in an accident, but he show courage and to continue to work like a pilot several years after that.

For the purpose of this essay I will try to define the word luck. I think that luck is any random circumstance, which provide benefits to the “happy” man. For instance, winning in the lottery is luck. I believe that it’s no true, because this kind of luck provides you money, which are not well earned. In this case the winner is the fortune.

In conclusion, I think that the luck bring us “fake” results. In my opinion, there is only one condition for the real success in the life. This is hard work.

His second name was Maresiev and there is a book and a movie about this man ("Story about a real man"). He has the highest order of our country = "The hero of the USSR(Russia)".I enjoy that in Bulgaria people now about Russian heroes.

Hi, Konstantin.

I know many things about Russia. Don't forget that many people in Bulgaria and Russia are Slavs. You know that Bulgarian language is similar to russian language. I really like russian authors, especially Dostoevski.In this connection, "Bratia Karamazovi" is my favourite book.

Although,I spent last summer in the USA and I have work visa for this summer, I think that the western culture, in particular the culture of the USA, is not for me. I really want to visit Moscow and Sanct Peterburg.

Congratulations for the execellent essays!
