2.2 Success Factors

Adam Tyler

Hard work, skill, luck, and opportunity all await. But which one is best for all these?

To rank the words; luck, opportunity, skill, and hard work, I would put them like this in terms of importance; hard work, skill, luck, opportunity. This may not be a very popular opinion, but I think opportunity should go last because an opportunity almost never happens (at least for me), then I think luck should be second to last because luck doesn't really help you on a test or project, because if you don't do any work you can't expect luck to help you, just do the work. About the only reason luck beats opportunity is because sometimes you can get lucky if you haven't completed an assignment and it can get pushed back or you just find everything right about what you're doing. Opportunities almost never come up, but when it does, it is a good chance to aim high. Skill is second to first because if you're good at something, it really helps you be successful in that particular topic. Although some people might put this before hard work, I prefer to put this after because skill just means you're good at something while if you work hard, it will lead you up to skill, which will lead you up to success. It's all about the steps up to success.
