words of wisdom

I'm finally home once again. I always feel relieved and happy whenever I go home. There's no place like home. Especially so I miss the good home cooked meals of my mom. I'm posting here some nice thoughts my dad shared to me and my siblings. I took this out from his email to me.

What is the meaning of genuine success in life ?

To me that consists of a few features and ideas :

1. Has knowledge (learning should be a lifetime process)

2. Has experience(through work and interaction with all walks of life)

3. Has wisdom (including love, and handling of human relations)

4. Has ambition (this is a very personal feeling, mostly due to one's character)........this factor alone will determine how rich you would be.

5.Has determination (including hardworking spirit)and finally ,somebody is more successful because he (no. 6 ) has Luck .

So,success in life has both materialistic and spiritual portions/meanings to consider.

What do you think? I feel that there's so much wisdom in these six points.
