Thinking About Success

1. Hard work
2. Opportunity
3. Skill
4. Luck

I ranked the words in this order because I believe to be successful, hard work is the most important aspect. If two people have the same dream, but only one of them works harder to gain that dream, then he will be more successful. Another way to think about it is about two volleyball players. If both of the girls want to play volleyball in college, and one of them trains everyday to get better, while the other girl sits on the couch eating potato chips, then obviously the girl who trained everyday will have the better chance of playing in college. The next important aspect is the amount of opportunity the person or business has. If a business is perfectly made and functional, but has no opportunity to be put to use, then it will not be successful. The more opportunity a business has, then the more inventory or other products it could sell. Another, but less important aspect, is skill. If a person has special skill at their job or hobby, then they will have a better advantage to do this job than other people. The least important aspect to being successful is luck. I personally do not believe in luck. I think everything happens for a reason, and that it is not just by chance. But, even if you were to be "lucky", the luck can only get you so far. With out hard work and dedication, then you will not be as successful as those who are competing against you.
