e eq of success

came across this article on wo3bao4 (mypaper) like quite long ago.. just wanna take note of it:

success is not "attitude + ability" but "attitude x ability" which means to say if u lack either, most prob u won't succeed (in tt thing u're doing, be it jobs, projects, school work...). attitute means how u treat tt thing u're doing.. do you give priority to it? do you think about it all the time? do you get down to doing it even? attitute determines how motivated and how committed one stays throughout tt thing.. and attitude could be changed, by influence, emotions, stress.. ability then includes knowledge, intellegence and experience.. intellegence (IQ) maybe inborn.. but knowledge and experiences could be gained by sharing, talking, exposing oneself to the situation.. =)

so.. it means to say tt you can't succeed if you have e abilities but no attitute towards tt thing (0 x C = 0). 0, not even a chance. the other way round, if you have attitude, unless you're born a retard (IQ=0) w no experience and learn nothing before, you still have chances of success.. (A x A' = something but 0). lol.. sounds very scientish >.<

so let's say you compare someone who is half-hearted (A=5) but capable (knowledge+IQ+exp=2+3+3=8) with someone who is whole-hearted (A=10) but not so capable, not so experienced (1+3+1=5).. 5 x 8 = 40 while 10 x 5 =50. (assuming both are equally intellegent) haha. i think i'm trying to prove that attitude is more impt than capabilities. lol. but not tt convincing..

oh yeah. i forgot to add that I've always believed tt luck plays a huge role too (since PSLE). therefore, i give the equation a slight change: "success = (attitude + ability)^luck". =) non-sense. luck is about intuition. haha.
