》有些人相信人一生的成功是由于冒险和碰运气。也有些人认为成功是源自谨慎计划。你为成功是因何而来？
》人之所以成功，那是因为辛勤工作。运气与成功有没有关系？
以上两题出自托福。除了谈成功，两题不一样。应该各写各的。为了好玩，我试用2合1回答。
Success is related to the theory of cause and effect. Careful planning plus hard work would usually bring fruit of success without unnecessarily taking risks and chances. Being lucky has much to do with success in the sense that good fortune and hard work often go side by side.
Nothing comes from nothing. It is unrealistic to sit idlely, waiting a great fortune to fall from nowhere. Life has a purpose which needs careful planning. People have to work to have ends meet. If being lucky means striking it rich, it does not happen everyday to everyone. It is easy to day-dream being a Bill Gates. But the story behind the success of Microsoft is told of careful planning rather than taking risks and chances.
What, then, is success made of? Money could be the easy answer, but money does not come easy. In terms of cause and effect, success is more logically measured by work rather than by luck. Likewise, by plan rather than by chance. After all, there are things money cannot buy. So, success must be defined in a more logical dimension.
Success, like happiness, is a state of feeling lucky to be able to work, to plan, and to love and be loved. In pursuit of happiness or scuccess, there is a long way to go. Being as lucky as becoming rich overnight is wishful-thinking. It does not make sense having lack of luck to blame for failure in life. That, too, seems to be too much of an easy answer.
