2) Hard Work
3) Skill
4) Luck
The most important ingredient is opportunity. You can have all of the skill and have the best work ethic in the world but if you don't have opportunity, its all for naught. All of that skill and hard work will be wasted without the opportunity to put it to work. The next ingredient is hard work. There is a famous quote by one of the best basketball players on the NBA, Kevin Durant that goes "Hard Work beats talent when talent fails to work hard." A person with tremendous skill but lazy work ethic will get beat by someone who may not have have much skill but has a great work ethic every time. Skill is important, but how you use the skill and how hard you work is much more important, that is why it is number three on the list. At the bottom of the list is luck. Luck can help you but there is no way you can rely on it because you have no idea when it is going to happen. It is a good thing when you get lucky, but you should never rely on luck for success.
