Debate topic: Opportunity is the key to success/Opportunity is not the key to success. The first argument of the affirmative:
Dear guests and fellow debaters: Hello everyone!
First of all, I am very glad that both sides of us have seized this opportunity to pursue our desire for success together. Our point of view-opportunity is the key to success!
Modern Chinese dictionaries explain opportunities as opportunities, circumstances and opportunities that are beneficial to people. In modern society, people call opportunities the accidental discoveries made by scientific workers when they conduct certain observation activities and experiments in a planned, purposeful and conscious manner. It can be seen that opportunity is a thing that exists objectively. It is the sum of understanding and controlling opportunities; and success is a process in which an individual sets a valuable goal in advance and gradually makes it a reality. Obviously, whether setting a goal or achieving a goal requires a good situation or opportunity, he runs through the entire process of success. Opportunities are accidental, objective and unexpected. Objectivity means that the existence of opportunities does not change based on people's likes and dislikes; unexpectedness means that opportunities usually appear outside people's conscious, purposeful, and foreseeable activities. Opportunities are particularly time-sensitive, ranging from several years to short. Fleeting. Everyone is familiar with the example of Bole's horse. A thousand-mile horse exists objectively, but no one could recognize it as a thousand-mile horse before Bole appeared. It was the appearance of Bole that made people recognize the existence and value of the thousand-mile horse. For Chollima, this is the key to its success, and Bole is an opportunity. Thousand-mile horses often exist, but Bole does not always exist! Li Bai was not only capable, but also outstanding. There is no doubt about this. However, he was unable to realize his political ideals throughout his life because he had no opportunities.
It can be seen that opportunity is the key to success! Opportunity is the prerequisite for all other factors to take effect. If there is no opportunity, even if you are talented, you will not get the opportunity and stage to show your ambition. As the saying goes, the difference between winners and losers is whether they can seize opportunities. The so-called gentleman moves at the right time, and heroes emerge; he who runs quickly may not win, and he who fights hard may not win. This shows how important opportunities are. Therefore, when things come to a close, everyone is very concerned about the hard-won opportunity!
Marie Curie said it well: "The weak wait for opportunities, the strong create opportunities." A person's success has chance, but the discovery, capture and full utilization of chance are by no means accidental. Zhuge Liang was able to get ahead not only because of his own talent, but more importantly because he seized the opportunity provided to him by Liu Bei's three visits to the thatched cottage. If you seize the opportunity, you can achieve success. This further illustrates that opportunity is the key to success!
Seizing opportunities is still passive. Really smart people will also create opportunities. If you read "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu, you will understand how to create opportunities and why opportunities are the key to success and victory! The past mobile warfare between the Red Army and the People's Liberation Army is a good example of creating and seizing opportunities in the military to achieve success.
In summary, opportunity is the key factor for our success. Opportunities may be around us. We must seize opportunities, create opportunities, and embark on the road to success. I firmly established our position of being invincible: opportunity is the key to success!
Opposition debate:
Dear Chairman, fellow debaters of the other side, dear friends: Hello everyone!
Today is a rare opportunity. Being able to compete with so many master friends is undoubtedly an opportunity to improve personal quality. We always believe that opportunity is not the key to success!
We believe: Opportunities are indispensable in life, but more important are people who can create opportunities! People rely on strength. Without strength, what if opportunities come? Strength depends on oneself, and opportunities also depend on oneself. Opportunity simply provides a shortcut to success for those who are prepared.
It is true that personal struggle and external opportunities are two necessary conditions for success, and today we are exploring which of them plays a key role in the success process: First, from a philosophical perspective , Internal factors are the fundamental reasons for the development of things, which determine the nature and development direction of things, while external factors are the external conditions for the development of things.
Personal struggle is the internal cause, and external opportunities are the external cause. Therefore, self-struggle is the key to success; secondly, from the perspective of the process of becoming successful, we must first determine the goal, then choose the direction and type, and then through our own personal struggle, we will With the improvement of one's own quality and ability, one can seize opportunities, take advantage of them, and achieve the perfect combination of one's own efforts and external opportunities. This reflects the importance of one's own struggle.
We all know that no matter how good the opportunity is, people without ability will not succeed. I can only watch the opportunity slip away from me. The prerequisite for a thousand-mile horse to travel a thousand miles in a day is ability. The glow of gold is the gold content of gold itself! We believe that opportunity has an impact on success. It is like a gust of wind on the journey. Walking with the wind will definitely save effort. However, without a firm decision to achieve the goal, the perseverance to overcome difficulties and hard work, it is impossible to reach the other side. . Whether it's a tailwind or a tailwind, as long as we walk firmly towards our goal step by step, we will definitely reach it.
Look at how great people succeed. It is the result of gold and personal efforts. From the perspective of normal interpersonal relationships, opportunities are just a man-made result. If you don’t fight for it, you won’t have the ability to fight for it. Opportunities If you don't know how to do it yourself, waiting can only lead to complete failure.
As we all know, as far as the pros and cons of our day are concerned, one side is destined to fail. The same opportunity, two different results, so opportunity is not the key to success.
