Where does success come from? Is it a matter of luck?

I. Introduction: Being successful has different meanings for each person. However, we usually relate success with winning and reaching what we have planned to get to. It is said that we could be successful by taking risks and chances or planning our lives. But, is it really where success comes from or is it just a matter of luck?

II. We can not deny that being successful is not always possible for us; so, it is normal that in some part of our lives we will fail, make mistakes or get down. But this is life and, sometimes, it could show us success or occasionally, failure at the same time. We must know that not always we are winners neither having everything we want in life, we are humans and nobody is perfect. Could you imagine a perfect life? If that could be possible, our lives could get boring and we could not learn about mistakes or failures.

III. Nevertheless, we tend to plan a future for our lives. We want to seek perfection and success, getting what we want or have always dreamt. For instance, I am one of those people who dreams to be a singer one day. Since I was a little child, I always dreamed to become true my lovely dream someday. Deep inside my soul, I know that it is not so easy as it seems to reach it, and sometimes, I get down because of thinking that my dream will never come true, and I start to cry. But, I am strong and I will follow it until I die. I have ever dreamt of being on a big stage in front of million people and to sing my songs, and show them what I really can. When I was little, my "friends, part of my family, classmates" laughed at me and said: "I do not think that you will be that one day", obviously, it hurt me. Last year, I participated in a contest, it was similar to the spanish version "Operación triunfo" or like the amercian version "Amercian idol". I reached the 13th position above 43.000+ people who wanted to join it. After that, old friends, family, lots of people... including people I do not like and they do not also like me began to write me. Ii was quite strange for me, because I realised how foolish people could be. Perhaps, we could not say that taking risks half of our lives make success, it must be a matter of luck and having strength. Everybody has a different knowledge about it.

IV. Conclusion: In my opinion and in other words, according to all these statements, success does not come either from taking risks or from planning our lives. Life hides surprises for us and we can not expect what will come. Being successful in something does not mean we will always succeed, it is just a matter of luck. The only thing I can say is that don’t be scared of failure, because the only failure is never to try.
