Thinking about Success

Opportunity - Most of the time it doesn't matter what you've done to get where you are, but the opportunities you seized to get there. If there is no opportunity, there is no growing or moving, you become stand still.

Hard Work - If you start from nowhere, you work hard to get where you want. If you were born where you want then you work hard to stay there. No matter how unskilled you are, hard work can make you skilled in anything.

Skill - Skill is something most are born with, it's a natural success in something. Whatever skill you have you can go anywhere with it. 

Luck - Luck is all chance, there is nothing you do be lucky or unlucky. Luck always runs out, so when you have no skill, hard work, or opportunities to fall back on, you've ended up taking one step forward and two steps back.
