Does hard work really pays off?

I'm sure we've all been told this before at least once in our lives. "Work hard and you will achieve what you've set out to do!" Is it really that simple though?

I think it's not necessary so. Sometimes we've put in a lot of effort in doing something yet the outcome isn't what we expected it to be. It will be very disappointing and we might tend to give up.
My life experience tells me that to achieve my goal,I not only need hard work. There are lots of perspectives that will affect the result. People often say, to succeed,you need 90% of perspiration. So by putting in hard work,you can only have 90% probability to achieve what you've set. The remaining 10% can make a huge difference on the result. Sometimes when you are unlucky the 10% can make you fail. Mentioning about luck,we can't deny that luck can affect us in many ways. Some people can be so lucky that they just put in a little effort and with luck,he/she might do better than the other one who sweat and work like hell .
When this happens, one might lose hope,despair,give in ,give up and everything gone.
Although it may even seem like nothing has gone your way no matter how hard you have tried. But, keep at it long enough, show consistency and dedication, some patience, and the never-say-die attitude to keep going no matter how bad it might seem - and you've got yourself the chance to succeed no matter what you're trying to accomplish.
By securing a chance for yourself,there will be chance for you to stand up and fight again!
