              The key to becoming an Elite
     Different people hold quite different opinions about the key to
becoming a talented person . Many people assert that personal abilites 
count for much.They maintain such an opinion becasuse a lot of people
stand out in their peers for their remarkable capacities .However 
,other believe that opportunies play a vital role in one's  success ,which
helps to explain why some people become prominent while others with 
similar talent are left behind.
      As far as I'm concerned ,personal abilites are much more 
important than opportunsities for a person to become an  elite .
First ,there are various chances in the world but only  those 
who are adequately prepared can make good make use of them and
achieve their goals. Second ,without a ready mind ,golden opportunities
may slip through one's fingers .Last but not least ,whether there are
favorable opportunities or not.what we should do is to learn and 
improve ourselves constantly.
  In a word ,we can take advantage of opportunities to achieve 
succese.Comparatively speaking,personal abilities are more important
for a person to become an elite.
