Ranking
- Hard work
- You need hard work to get somewhere. You can not just wake up one day with an amazing skill at something like playing the guitar. It takes many hours of painfully figuring out the chords and rhythms. So hard work comes before everything else.
- Skill
- After working hard at something you develop a skill, and you can't get opportunities without having skills, which comes next in the list.
- Opportunity
- Once you have developed a skill, you can receive opportunities. I'll use the guitar as an example again. after developing the skill to play the guitar, you can get offers to play in bands, or do solo gigs. If you have no skill or experience, no one will want to offer you the opportunity to play for/with them.
- Luck
- Luck is a very unbound "force". It doesn't really have a definite outcome. The outcome could be negative or positive. Therefore, luck doesn't really have anything to do with success, which is why it is at the bottom of this list. Luck just sort of happens, there's no way of making it happen. Whereas with hard work, skills and opportunities, you can make those things happen with just the right amount of effort.
