Tuition Center Singapore JC General Paper Tuition – ‘Success is determined by one’s ability’. What is your view?

Topic: Success

Issue: To what degree does one’s ability dictate their success?

Context: General

Keywords: Success, determined, one’s, ability

Definition of success: Success refers to the accomplishment of an aim or purpose and is taken to have a positive connotation.

Definition of Ability: Ability refers to having the means or skill to do something. In the context of this question, it would refer to a person’s skills or the means a person has access to that would help accomplish an aim.

1. Success can be determined by one’s talent or skills. 

1. Music based reality TV shows such as American Idol, The Voice, X-factor etc. Do not train a person from scratch. Usually only those with talent are chosen and then go on to win the competition and experience some kind of success. Notable examples include Kelly Clarkson, Daughtry, Adam Lambert…
2. Even in the business world, people like Bill Gates, Steve Jobs and Jack Ho all had very entrepreneurial spirits and had the talent for planning, making connections etc. Without these abilities, it is arguable as to whether they would have experienced any success
3. Similar case even in the sports industry e.g. Lionel Messi, Serena Williams, Usain Bolt…

2. Success is not necessarily determined by one’s ability alone, opportunities must also be present. 

1. Take for example in the previously mentioned Kelly Clarkson case, if American Idol had not been created, she may not have had the opportunity to showcase her talents.
2. Thus, even if she had the ability, without opportunity she may not be the star that she is today.
3. g. Nick Vujicic, no doubt he had good public speaking skill, he still needed some luck to be spotted in order to become so famous and attain success
