2.2 Success Factors

1. Hard Work, Skill, Opportunity, Luck

2. This is the order that I believe that these success factors go in, from most to least important and/or helpful. Hard work is by far the most important factor in achieving what you want in life. Without hard work, the things that you achieve mean much less because you didn't have to do much to accomplish them. Even if you have none of the other things (skill, opportunity, or luck) you can still do mostly anything that you aim to do if you work hard enough. Skill is the second most important thing. Whether you were naturally born with it or used your hard work to gain skills, they play a major part in what you achieve in your life. Someone with skill is obviously much more likely to be successful than someone without it, but in the end skill means nothing unless if you put it to use with hard work. Opportunity is the next most important. Although being very helpful, not everyone has equal access to opportunities, making it unrealistic that everyone will have the chance to have opportunities that will guide and aid them in their life and career. Luck is the least important of all of these success factors. Many peoples lives have been completely changed for the better because of luck, but this is not realistic for the average person. If you expect to have everything work out by purely luck, you will most likely accomplish nothing. You have to put in hard work because luck should only be a last resort and something you rely on when there is no other option, never your first choice.
