Thinking About Success

In class today we were given a challenge, rank the four following words in order of importance to success. The words are: luck, opportunity, skill, and hard work. In my opinion, the order should go as hard work, skill, opportunity, and then luck with hard work being most important and luck being least important. Here's why I put them in that order. Hard work comes first because skills can't be developed overnight. There are plenty of successful people in the world who weren't "great" at their craft originally but stuck with it and then came out more successful than most. Skill comes second because sometimes it takes more than just hard work and determination. Opportunity comes third because sometimes you need that extra boost to get to where you want to be. And finally, luck, because when all else fails you might get lucky and make millions.
