The essential factors for success mainly boil down to three points

In the vast journey of exploring the mysteries of success, we will find that the core elements mainly boil down to three, just like the three crucial pillars supporting the edifice of success.

  • Ability

Ability is undoubtedly a unique key to opening the door to success. It is not a concept in a single dimension but a diverse and profound system of abilities. From profound cognitive abilities, efficient learning abilities, to outstanding creative abilities and harmonious social skills, these abilities are intertwined and work together in synergy. Those outstanding individuals shining brightly in their respective fields all rely on their unique and powerful combinations of abilities to accurately capture the glimmer of opportunities in the complicated world and then blaze their own glorious paths. For example, the pioneers of innovation in the field of science and technology, with their keen insights into cutting-edge technologies and excellent R&D capabilities, break through technological bottlenecks time and time again and change the technological landscape of the world.

  • Effort

Effort is the solid foundation paving the way to success. It means maintaining a passionate and persistent enthusiasm and perseverance on the road to pursuing goals, pouring a large amount of time and energy into it without reservation. Through continuous learning of new knowledge, honing new skills, and repeatedly tempering oneself in the crucible of practice, experiencing countless setbacks and hardships, one can gradually accumulate rich experience and achieve the iterative upgrading of abilities. Throughout history, countless people with noble aspirations have interpreted the true meaning of effort with their struggle courses. For instance, Kuang Heng bored a hole in the wall to "steal" light and still studied hard in a difficult environment, eventually becoming a great scholar; another example is Wang Xizhi, who practiced calligraphy hard until the ink pool was completely blackened and became a famous calligraphy master.

  • Luck

Luck is just like the mysterious force hidden behind success. Although it has unpredictable uncertainties, it is not completely untraceable. Part of it is indeed beyond our control, yet another part can be influenced by our behaviors and attitudes. Adhering to a positive and kind-hearted attitude towards life and doing more benevolent deeds often can create a good interpersonal ecological environment for ourselves. When we generously extend a helping hand when others are in need and adhere to morality in the face of disputes over interests, we will win the respect and trust of others, thus obtaining more support and assistance at critical moments. As the saying goes, "A just cause enjoys abundant support while an unjust cause finds little support." A person with a loving heart will naturally have more kindness gathering on his or her way forward, and luck will come quietly and unexpectedly.

If one is lucky enough to possess one of ability, effort, and luck, he or she will have the opportunity to knock on the door of "minor success". Perhaps by virtue of some innate talent, one can stand out in a specific field; perhaps by relying on persistent efforts, one can shine with extraordinary splendor in an ordinary post; or perhaps due to the advent of accidental luck, one can harvest an unexpected surprise and gain. When having two of them at the same time, one can stride forward towards the realm of "moderate success". However, only by perfectly integrating and possessing all three of ability, effort and luck can one climb to the peak of "great success" and create immortal legends and glories.

Firstly, we must be determined to cultivate abilities that surpass those of ordinary people and complement them with corresponding efforts. During the growth journey, through unremitting efforts in learning and practical exercises, just like carving a rough jade, gradually polish and upgrade our own ability levels. Meanwhile, we should closely connect personal efforts with the creation of social value. In the process of pursuing personal development, actively create value for others and society, achieve a win-win situation of mutual benefit, and thus gradually accumulate a deep foundation of trust. In this way, we can walk more smoothly on the road to wealth and success.

The origin of ability

On the one hand, it stems from the innate genetic endowment. If one is born with intellectual disabilities, severe disabilities or does not even have the unique intellectual advantages of human beings, then no matter how much effort is made, the achievements that can be obtained may only be struggling to survive in difficulties and trying to avoid overly miserable situations as much as possible. On the other hand, early childhood education and enlightenment play a vital role in shaping abilities. Before preschool age, a mother's gentle care and meticulous teaching are like the warm sun in spring, nourishing the child's young mind and the budding of wisdom; when entering adolescence, a father's firm guidance and teaching by example are like a lighthouse, pointing out the direction for the child's growth path. If these crucial family guidances are missing during the growth process, then we need to rely on the help of "benefactors" from the outside world. For example, if we are lucky enough to get the inspiration and guidance of an excellent tutor, we can also find the direction on the road of ability growth. And the long-term maintenance of a love for learning, a strong thirst for knowledge, being good at thinking and actively exploring the spirit of effort is self-evident in importance. It is a necessary path that runs through the whole process of ability growth.

Regarding luck, although there are parts that are difficult to control, if we actively practice doing more good deeds, it may optimize the direction of luck to some extent. When we treat others with sincerity and spread warmth with kind deeds, we will naturally harvest more support and help in our life journey. At this time, luck will be like a flower blown by the spring breeze, blooming with more brilliant splendor.

In conclusion, deeply understanding these three elements of success and skillfully integrating them into life practice can enable us to find our own bright coordinates in the vast starry sky of success and draw a magnificent picture of life.
