academic demands will be over and entirely depends on the circumstances. I would like
to further illustrate my reasons as follows

No one would deny the fact that it is the need that forces a person to choose his area of
preference for staying. In this era where there is much competition to achieve the very
best every parent would love to be in a big city because the benefits which they derive
from such a place would be much more than what a small town can offer. First priority
will be for a better job, that too in a reputed firm which can offer them high salary to
meet their demands. Such institutions or firms will definitely be in a big city and hence
they would prefer being there. Moreover they will be in a position to look for better areas
of work which might not be possible if they are in a small town. In my case, my father is
working in a reputed Medical College in Kerala and his work has definitely influenced
our stay in a big city like Trivandrum.

Second priority will be their children`s education which has now become an inevitable
part. Big cities can provide them with the best educational facilities like schools, colleges,
tuition centers, coaching classes for competitive exams, academic counseling centers etc
which might not be present in a small town. I would not say that small towns do not have
schools or colleges but the wide array of facilities that a big city can offer might not be
available in a small town. Coming to my case, I was fortunate enough to enjoy the
facilities that a city could provide. During my schooling, I used to go by bus which is the
cheapest mode of transportation in our city. Moreover I could benefit myself from the
tuition classes and coaching centers and also I came to know about the different
opportunities that a student has in front of him. Because of all that I could get an
admission Post graduation in a Deemed University in Mumbai and now I am again
enjoying the nicer aspects of life. I would like my children also to enjoy the beauty and
life of big cities.

Next thing which I find very important is the fast and efficient communication facilities

Essay 106 Topic 10 Does luck has anything to do with success?

Someone says: when people succeed, it is because of hard work. Luck has nothing to do
with success. In my opinion, I agree that success need hard work, but sometimes luck is
important too.

As the old saying: no pains, no gains. Success mainly depends on hard work. When we
talk about some famous people, we all think they are respectable, because we know, at
the back of their success; there is how much hard work. For example, Tomas Addison,
one of the most famous inventors in last century, spent most of his time in his lab. He
often loses in his work and forgets his family and even sleeping or eating. But people all
of the world respect him and remember he for ever, his endeavor bring people a lot of
happiness and convenience. If Addison just sits in his home waiting for luck or magic,
never will he succeed.

Albert Einstein has said that the genius is 99 percent sweeter plus 1 percent luck.
Although luck is secondary, we cannot omit it. In fact, in some extent, luck also plays an
important role. Each people must have heard the story of an apple and Newton, the apple
is Newton`s luck, it`s the God`s gift. Without that apple, may be Newton must spend
more time to think and think. May be in our life, people have this kind of experience. For
example, when you are working on a mathematics problem, you try and try but cannot
get the answer. May be suddenly sometimes, you will think of something or find way,
“aha”, the problem is solved.

Any opinion of only emphasizing on hard work or luck is impartial. Hard work is main
factor; luck can accelerate one`s success. So both hard work and luck are important.



Essay 108 Topic 10 Does luck has anything to do with success?

“When people succeed it is because of hard work. Luck has nothing to do with success”. I
personally agree with this quotation and likewise I believe that whilst hard work is a
characteristic of responsible people, luck is an out way for lazy people. There are many
examples that support this quotation. A reason for which I believe that success arises
after hard work is the fact that the more one works and devotes his time on a process or
subject the better he learns to handle that process or mastering the subject. Thus if
someone is good to his field then others recognize his experience and support him to
success.

Furthermore even if someone manages to stand on a post not due to his qualification but
due to luck he will not be able to respond adequately to the enquiries of the post and so
easily and soon he will quit from that post. Besides if he does not work responsibly and
seriously during his term in the particular post, others will `vote` against him.

There are a lot of examples that support the quotation above. A first one is that all those
scientists whose theories and works have been recognized, gained a successful fame after
a lot of experiments and researches which require hard work to be done. Also, students

who study hard succeed to their educational aims and acquire their entry to colleges and
universities. It seems impossible to me that a student may succeed because of luck.

To sum up, in my opinion, hard work is the only way for success. Luck has nothing to do
with success. Thus, even if someone wins a post with out the support of his own
possibilities I believe that he will not keep his position for long...

Essay 109 Topic 10 Does luck has anything to do with success?

Throughout their lives all people strive to succeed. To achieve this most of them work
hard and rely only on themselves in making their dreams come true. But in this process of
continuous toiling they encounter luck or lack of it, and sometimes it proves crucial to a
person's development. In my opinion hard work is the main thing that defines success,
but in most cases luck also plays a very important role. First of all, hard work can be
controlled by people, but luck can't. Everyone can decide whether to work hard or not,
but almost no one can predict luck. That's why people should toil and be dependent on

their knowledge, not on their luck. For example, two friends of mine were preparing for
an exam at the same time. One of them was studying very much, and the other one hoped
he will have luck to pass the exam, because he was always lucky. At the day of the exam
the first got a great score, because he was well prepared, and the second failed, because
that day he had bad luck. Second, although hard work is most important, sometimes
people need little luck. Luck, however, doesn't come to all people who wish for it, but
only to those who are prepared for it. For instance, Michael Faraday, the famous
physicist, discovered one of the most important laws in physics by chance. But I think
that it's not surprising that he was lucky then. Faraday had studied so deeply this subject
that he was ready to investigate this phenomenon, conduct experiments about it, and
finally formulate it, so that all people can use it. And finally, I think that there are
situations in which luck prevails over hard work and knowledge, and without it the
person can't achieve anything. There are also people who traditionally have bad luck, and
it's very difficult for them to succeed. For example, my cousin worked day and night over
a project and finally completed it just a day before the deadline. Unfortunately, the next
day when he was reviewing it for the last time he spilled his cup of coffee over it. The
project was useless, and because of his bad luck my cousin got a poor mark. In summary,
I think that both hard work and luck are crucial to one's development, but we should work
hard in order to ensure success as much as possible, although sometimes bad luck may
make our effort useless. But after all, we can't depend on something we can't control.
