What’s your idea about success? Some people say that beginners have all the luck, while others believe that success    only with practice. In fact, I fell both of these statements are not true all the time. Each is true in some ways    not in others.

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

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