Thinking About Success

1- Hard Work 

2- Skill  

3- Opportunity 

4- Luck  

I believe the ranking of these four qualities are from most important factor to least important factor as shown above. If anyone ever wants something they must first be a hard worker, do you think pro football players just woke up one day and said, "I guess I'll go pro."? No, they worked for days, months, and years to get there. But the problem with a football player going pro is they must have skill, skill is very important. You aren't just going to make the team because they think you're cute, it is simply because you are what they want in a player. Then, once scouts see you are a hard worker and skillful, you may or may not get the opportunity to play for their team. That is when luck comes in, if you're lucky, you will be the next pro football player. 

Michael Oher

I chose him as my example because if you have read his book, he beat the odds. He lived on the streets and was picked up by a family who pushed him through playing football and making the grades he needs. Long story short, he is now playing for the NFL. How many people can say this happened to them?
