The reason why diligence can bring us good luck is that if we prepare for something hard, the real action which you take to do it will be with our any problem and the result of it will be good beyond your expectation.
Take my friend’s experience for example. My friend, Lisa, is a girl who can’t speak Taiwanese well. One day she was required by her teacher to take a part in a Taiwanese speech contest. At first, she defied this decision of her teacher very much, but her teacher told her that this was a good chance to learn and practice well her mother tongue and talked Lisa into it. Lisa took her teacher’s words with a little reluctance, but she knew that she had to prepare it hard because it was a contest which represented honor of her class. Then she practiced Taiwanese with her parents for three hours after school everyday before the date of contest. During the process, she had borne an idea of giving it up because she felt she could never speak good Taiwanese, not to mention to give a speech. Finally, on the day of speech contest, I heard her name on the winners list. Lisa won first place! When I met Lisa, she told me that she was so lucky because her topic of speech was the one she was familiar with and practiced most. As the result, she could gave a wonderful speech and got good prize. And the only congratulation I gave her is “Diligence is the mother of good luck.”
