I hope everyone would agree on me about this. A person need not just harwork, patience but also luck to be successful in life. I mean these 3 elements must always be present. What im saying is that even if a person is so hardworking but he lacks patience to do his work ; it is useless. It is also useless if a person is very patience but has no luck . I mean this three elements i believe should be present to achieve success. I for once been working so hard for 10 years now doing everything to earn, has also patience but i havent found my luck yet. How about you do yu feel the same about this three elements; harwork, patience and luck?

There's a saying that: "There's a general that one's perseverance eventually leads to success. Each of us will, in varying degrees be an exception to that general rule." It seems that hard work and patience (with no luck needed) will work in certain cases. One of the things I have learned is that preparation + opportunity = achievement. -that opportunity is determined by so many factors collectively known as God's Providence. Cheers :)

I tend to agree with these elements you have presented here on your topic of discussion. Hard work is definitely the first thing. You need to be strong and sometimes sweat a little to get the job done. Patience kind of goes along with perserverance in the sense that you have to keep striving for your goals and be patient if you fail sometimes. There have been great minds out there who have invented things or ran our country who failed a number of times and were patient and kept going until they succeeded. And I do agree very much with having a lot of luck. Luck can play a role because sometimes you need to be in the right place at the right time in order to gain the success that you want. I believe that one should never give up their dreams in life. That is one of the reasons that we are here in the world. To go for our goals and make our lives better and work hard for our loved ones. It is always good when our families appreciate the things we do for them.
