Success Iceberg

I think that opportunity is the most important factor in terms of economic success. Opportunity is defined as "a set of circumstances that makes it possible to do something." Without opportunities, becoming or creating anything is extremely difficult. One was be rewarded with opportunities in order to be successful. The next important factor is luck. Luck is success brought by chance rather than one's own actions. Once one has the opportunity to be successful they must also have the luck to turn opportunities into something real. Hard work is important. I believe that hard work can get you halfway to success, but it is not the most important for economic success. Lastly is skill. I strongly believe that skill is important. Without opportunities, luck, or hard work, no amount of skill will make you economically successful.
