The root of success

Prompt: When people succeed, it is because of hard work, luck has nothing to do with success, Do you agree or disagree with the quotation above? Use specific reasons and examples to explain your position.

Competence in today's world is merciless, which derives in opportunities being far from plentiful. Under these circumstances, those who work incessantly have thrived where lucky individuals failed to achieve magnificent results. Thus, I strongly believe that luck is far from vital for reaching success.

To begin with, stories about influential CEOs who reached success by working hard abound in best-selling books. Many of them have created a disastrous company at least once before hitting the jackpot with their current company. For instance, Elon Musk has publicly stated that he works far more hours than his employees. Despite a substantial number of setbacks during his career, he thrived by walking the extra mile.

Additionally, sports is another field in which a tremendous amount of work is needed for keeping up to par with their peers. Cristiano Ronaldo, named by many the greatest footballer of all time, has clearly talked many times about the strict daily routine which led him to succeed in one of the most important sports in the world. Furthermore, Kobe Bryant, a basketball player who stunned the world with is record-breaking feats, is well-known for his discipline and commitment.

Not only is success relevant in finances and sports, but it also is indispensable in science. The greatest minds of all time worked tirelessly for enriching mankind knowledge. Newton was indeed one of a kind, he single-handedly created differential calculus and laid the foundations of mechanics. Such was the magnitude of this monumental achievement, that he worked on a daily basis for many years by himself for achieving these results.

To conclude, hardly ever has someone reached his full potential without giving their best. There are many success cases related to hard work in finances, sports and even sciences. At the end, it is evident that discipline is the only sure way to accomplish the goals one has long wanted to fulfill.

Did you mean competition?

Under these circumstances, those who work incessantly have thrived where lucky individuals have failed to achieve magnificentremarkable results.

have - have parallel structure. Magnificent and remarkable have roughly similar meanings, but I think magnificent sounds a bit out of place. Just "good" would also be a fine choice.

Thus, I strongly believe that luck is far from vital for reaching success.

To begin with, stories aboutbest-selling books abound in stories of influential CEOs who reached success by working hard abound in best-selling books.

"Stories of" sounds slightly better to me because you're literally talking about their stories (as opposed to stories related to but not of them).
I understand that you literally meant "abound" + "in best-selling books," but "abound in" (or alternatively, "abound with") is already a phrasal verb that means "to be filled with." So if you want to use the verb abound, it should be moved in front. Alternatively, just use another phrase.

Additionally, sports is another field in which a tremendous amount of work is needed for keepingto stay up to par with theirone's peers.

"Keep up to par" would need to take an object (e.g. "keep one's skills up to par"). You can't say "their" here because you didn't mention anyone in particular; you need to use "one's," where "one" refers to some non-specific person.

Cristiano Ronaldo, named by many as the greatest footballer of all time, has clearly talked many times about the strict daily routine whichthat led him to succeed in one of the most important sports in the world.

The as isn't strictly required, but it feels more natural to me to include it. If you don't want to have the as, I think you'd need to put quotes around "the greatest footballer of all time" or something.
I'm assuming "clearly" was supposed to denote that Ronaldo was clear about what he said, but if you say "clearly" there, it sounds like you are saying "without a doubt, he has talked about X." If you want to keep that nuance, I would rephrase as "has made it clear many times that it is his strict daily routine ...."
"Which" is for nonessential (nonrestrictive) clauses; here, you need to use "that."

Furthermore, Kobe Bryant, a basketball player who stunned the world with his record-breaking feats, is well-known for his discipline and commitment.

Not only is success relevant in finances and sports, but it is also is indispensable in science.

I think it may also sound a bit nicer to omit the "but" here.

Newton was indeed one of a kind,; he single-handedly created differential calculus and laid the foundations of mechanics.

or: Newton was one of a kind, single-handedly creating differential calculus and laying the foundations of mechanics.
I don't quite understand what "indeed" was supposed to show here. If you could clarify, I would be happy to provide some alternate phrasing.
