What’s your idea about success? Some people say that
beginners have all the luck, while others believe that success 1 only
with practice. In fact, I feel both of these statements (陈述) are not true all the time. Each is true in some ways
2 not in others.
For example, I went to a drawing competition many
years ago and 3 surprisingly. As a prize, I
got a film ticket to see “Titanic”. I was really 4 because
it was the first time I had taken part in any competition, Thinking that I
might be lucky again, I 5 joining in other art competitions,
But the result was that I 6 won again. I accepted the
fact that the other people had a 7 artistic ability
than I did. Art was not something I was especially interested in and I had
never practiced the different art skills. So, the 8 I produced
were not of a very high standard(水平).
These experiences taught me a lot. Though I might have
been lucky 9 , I also need to put in hard work. As we know, 10 makes
perfect. So I believe success builds on less luck and chance.
