Thinking About Success

The order that I chose to rank the four words in is hard work, opportunity, skill, and luck. I chose to rank hard work first because one may have skill and opportunity, but if one has not put time and hard work in to develop that skill then the opportunity will be wasted because they were not able to take full advantage of it. I chose to rank opportunity second because if you have put in the work then what you need next is an opportunity to utilized what you have worked so hard to obtain. Skill came third because yes it is important to be skillful but if one has a skill and has not worked hard to maintain or improve that skill then it is useless. Luck came last because it is unpredictable. It is not needed in order to be successful and is never an attribute that should be depended on or looked for when trying to achieve success.
