Success is that old ABC - ability, breaks, and courage.

Summary

This quote emphasizes the three essential ingredients for achieving success: ability, breaks, and courage. Ability refers to one's skills, talents, and capabilities that are honed through hard work and dedication. Breaks represent the opportunities or fortunate incidents that come our way, sometimes unexpectedly, and allow us to progress and excel. However, courage is equally important, as it emphasizes the bravery to take risks, confront challenges, and persevere during setbacks. This quote implies that success is not solely dependent on talent or luck, but also on the courage to utilize our abilities and seize opportunities.
