Which is more important to achieve success--opportunity or hard work?

综述：

When it comes to the question: which is more important, an opportunity or hard work, different people have different opinions. As far as I am concerned, hard work is more important.

Without the process of hard work, where is success?

If you wait for an opportunity you may never get it and be in a loss; but if you work hard, you can be assured that success will come.

An opportunity gives you a very small chance of great success, but hard work is sure to offer you a much greater chance of success. Hard work is the key to achieving success. Many opportunities come with hard work. If you put in the hard work and you will be rewarded.

Long term success can only be achieved in a field by being better than the others, and in most cases the only way to achieve this is by working harder than your rival.竞争者.

It is possible that one person got in with luck and the 'hard worker' got nothing. Where is the justice?

Remember: An opportunity may get you in the door, but only hard work will keep you there.

Hard work is more important. Everybody has an opportunity, but if you do not have abilities, and do not know how to make use of them, you can not succeed in the end. If you only relied on luck, then you'll get no where. If you wait around for luck to give it to you, you'll never get anything. So only hard work can lead to success. Let’s take Edison as an example. Edison is a very hardworking scientist as we all know. Without his 999 times failure, how could he succeed at the one thousandth time? The answer is very clear: Hard work.

Therefore, an opportunity is important, but efforts are even more important.

Being successful is the dream of every person living in this world. Some people say that success is a matter of opportunity. The others say that success is a result of hard work. We believe that hard work and success are closely related.

People who say that opportunity is important usually agree with the notion that given the same amount of hard work, someone with a better opportunity may accomplish something more easily compared to someone born with fewer opportunities. Therefore we

can conclude that an opportunity is the probability to earn success for each attempt to earn it, but hard work is the very key to success.

We often hear of the success stories of various people that they failed many times before they eventually succeeded. So if you only take one attempt to gain your success, your probability of success is 30%. If you try again the second time, you have another 30% probability of success. If you try three times, your probability of success is 65.7%. If you try four times, your probability of success is 76%. If you try for 15 times, your probability of success is 99.52%. It is clear that the more you try, the higher your probability of success will become. In a word, no pains, no gains. If you do not work hard you will never succeed. Thank you.

Questions:

1. We often say that “No pains, no gains”. What’s your understanding of this saying?

2. If Newton is a farmer and he has no knowledge, when the apple falls on his head, can he still make use of this opportunity and find out his famous theory?

3. Let’s take Edison as another example. Edison is a very hardworking scientist as we all know. Without his 999 times failure,

how could he succeed at the one thousandth time?

反方立论：

Our side insists on that hard work is the key to success. It’s true that hard work and the opportunity are the important factors to success. But what we are discussing is which is more important. First，seeing from the side of philosophy, the inside factor is the most important to everything developing. Hard work is the inside factor. Second, seeing from the way to success, we must set up a goal in the first place, and through the personal hard work, we can make use of the opportunity and achieve success. So we believe that hard work is the key to success. That’s all, thank you.

自由辩论： 反方: We believe that success should be the combination of strong spirits and abilities. The people who have the best opportunities can not succeed without abilities. Take the students who failed in the college entrance examination as an example, don’t they have the opportunity? Thank you.

反方： "No pains，no gains". I think everyone can understand this simple truth! Although the people without abilities are given the best opportunities, they still can not succeed. If Newton is a farmer, and he has no knowledge, when the apple falls on his head, he may just eat it,

what the effect of this opportunity? Thank you

自由 反方; Seen from the normal personal relationships, the opportunities and luck are only results created by people. If we do not work hard, the only result is failure instead of success.

反方; Einstein once said: "Opportunity only prefers the mind prepared.” The countless scientists of the success in history have told us the people who work hard are easier to succeed than those who only wait for the opportunity and luck.
