What’s your idea about success? Some people say that beginners have all the luck, while others believe that success    46    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    47    not in others.

For example, I went to a drawing competition many years ago and    48    surprisingly. As a prize, I got a film ticket to see “Titanic”. I was really    49    because it was the first time I had taken part in any competition. Thinking that I might be lucky again, I    50    joining in other art competitions. But the result was that I    51    won again. I accepted the fact that the other people had a    52    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    53    I produced were not of a very high standard.

These experiences taught me a lot. Though I might have been lucky    54   , I also need to put in hard work. As we know,    55    makes perfect. So I believe success builds on less luck and chance.
