【正确答案】An actor's performance gives rise to a heated debate among his spectators. Some maintain that success originates from his diligence and perseverance, whereas others argue that his success is nothing more than a stroke of good luck.
The contradictory arguments by the two groups of people do illustrate a focal point in regard to one' s success. Undoubtedly, good luck does play a part in one' s career, but without diligence and perseverance, how can one obtain good skills and ability. Conversely, but for diligence and perseverance, one could not have conquered the difficulties and hardship in his pursuit of success let alone earning his popularity and reputation among the general public.
Numerous cases exist to illustrate such an observation, but one will suffice. Take Diego Maradona for example, in the World Cup 1986, some people attributed his victory over England to his hand of God, emphasizing that luck brought him to the championship. But without diligence, he could not have acquired good soccer skills, let alone earning his reputation as the best football player in the world. In a word, without diligence, one cannot succeed. But diligence plus luck brings people well on the way toward a miracle. After all, there is no accident in this world.
