pillars of success!

Here obviously your success refers to attaining degrees before employment or to get better ones. But 'success' is a relative word. What success means to you, may not bring similar meaning to others. While your success, may be, means getting a good job and start a comfortable life, a monk or a sage's 'success' is to have a feeling of oneness with Him (God); or a thief's success is to escape with the booty. But in all cases, (i) hard work, (ii) sincerity, (iii) right use of brain, (iv) keep the health sound, (iv) flexible bend of mind, etc. should be treated some of the pillars of success.
