When we are young, we often conclude that natural ability is the most important factor for success.
Over the long term, however, we learn that we can supplement our natural ability with hard work and sheer will to achieve better results. Effort, we realize, may influence our success even more than our natural ability - and our effort is something we control.
But the real difference-maker is attitude; among the three factors, it is the most powerful. Acting on a negative attitude, even momentarily, can bring disastrous outcomes. Fortunately, positive attitudes - such as being cooperative, humble, hardworking, and optimistic, to name a few - can be practiced daily. Positive attitudes undoubtedly lead to the most positive results, in our own lives and for humanity as a whole.
