While some people believe that the key to being successful in life is hard work, dedication, and motivation, others are firm on the importance of wealth and appearance in paving the way for success. This essay argues that, although life is unfair and those who have the money and appearance have it easier, one must always work hard with dedication and passion to succeed.
On the one hand, people who come from wealthy families and those who are presentable have more opportunities opened up to them than others. Furthermore, money allows you to make relations and do business with other rich people, making it easier to make more money. The famous saying “money makes money” is hugely relevant to this concept, and children of wealthy families having a much greater chance of being wealthy themselves than their counterparts serves as a great example.
On the other hand, working hard with persistence and motivation has always been the path to success. That is true because even if the path is difficult, all obstacles can be overcome by doing one’s best. History is full of successful models who fought their way to success, after being from poor back grounds, and Steve Harvey is a prominent instance.
In summary, while money and good looks make the path to success easier, one must never give-up, because a lot of people who lacked such qualities achieved success by their personal efforts and hard work.
