Have you ever imagined the immense luck of being the winner of the lottery? According to online news site “Everyday Economy (매일 경제)”, the biggest lottery winner prize money was $2,191,782,000, (3 trillion won). Some people might think that only hard work can change a person’s life. However, I think that luck can change a person’s life completely in good way.

 To begin, luck is necessarily needed for success. If luck isn’t on your side, hard work can be useless. This is because luck can ruin all the hard work in an instant. For example, if a person were in the wrong place in the wrong time, they might be injured or be involved in a terrible crime or an accident. On the contrary, good luck can easily lead a person to success. To explain, the lottery can be the best example for it. As I mentioned in the intro, the biggest lottery winner prize is 3 trillion won, and getting that amount of money is, at least on my standard, a very big success. Also, you might find a book in the library that inspires you to live a meaningful and happy life. Like this, luck is crucial to success.

 In addition, luck, unlike hard work, can lead a person to success in very short time. To succeed with hard work, you need patience and persistence. Also, you need to work really hard to achieve your goal. On the other hand, luck can change everything in an instant. For example, to earn 1 trillion won, it will take years and years of hard work to get that huge amount of money. To explain, the average monthly payment of Korea is 2 million and 700 thousand won, and it will take over 30000 years to get that money. However, if you have a good luck, you can achieve it instantly, by many ways like winning the lottery, picking up some card with a trillion dollars in it. If you give it to the police and find the owner, you can get a 5% to 20% of money of the thing’s value. Also, if the owner does not appear for 6 months, you become the owner of it.

 Third, if you have good luck, you can be mentally stable. This is because if a person knows if he or she has good luck, they would have less anxiety of failing or losing. This can give a person stability of the mind and less stress which help a person make a better decision. There is a study that shows unstable mind and stress can bring analysis paralysis which is absolutely not good to making good decisions. Also, some people might not even try to achieve their goals by working hard if they know they have bad luck, because they are afraid of failing. Like this, good luck can make a person be mentally stable, which can be indirectly helpful for success.

 To conclude, I think that luck can change a person’s life completely because luck is necessarily needed to success, can lead a person to success in very short time, you can be mentally stable. I wish I had good luck and win the lottery.
