People always tend to argue with each other over the importance of hard work ,knowledge, attitude and money in our life. Some say hard work is more important than knowledge while other say knowledge is much more important. Some say attitude is most important in our life. And there are still more who says money is important? What do you say?
I believe that attitude is most important. When we have good attitude we work hard and when we work hard we gain knowledge. Then I think hard work comes in second place. With hard work we can gain knowledge. Knowledge without hard work can't make us work hard. Absence of hard work shows absence of attitude.Then for me knowledge comes in third place.
What about money? Well money is important but I think money is not as important as attitude, knowledge and hard work. We can earn money with these three but money can't buy them. You may claim that money can buy knowledge. But if we think carefully, to gain knowledge we need attitude and hard work which money can't buy. So money can't even buy education.

Hi tenrajj,
I'm quite agree with you. Attitude is the important one in our life. Positive attitude has great creativity,even if you're poor and also have poor knowledge. there're someone who do not hard work and just follow their inclinations,they live a casual life. Although it's not a good life style, their mood(or attitude)satisfy them. Attitude decides life style. Money is just a tool, we use it to make our life more convenient in the beginning. Have a good time.

Yea what you say is true.. Let me prove mathematically that attitude is more important than other. It would be funny or is childish to use such prove but it is interesting. Lets number all alphabets(A to Z) with numbers(1 to 26) respectively. Now lets calculate their score by adding the number corresponding to the characters as follows:
K N O W L E D G E: 11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5=96
H A R D W O R K:8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11=98
A T T I T U D E=1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5=100
M O N E Y=13+15+14+5+25=72
That is funny. But is true in our practical life too.
Attitude comes first, followed by hard work which is followed by knowledge.
Last is money.

In my opnion,the goal of our life may be more important.What we want bo be may lead our life .If you want to gain more knowledge ,you may work hard reading books or searching relative knowledge.If you want to become a millionaire,you will of course have some different attitudes.

ultimate goal of our life is to be happy. Where by gaining knowledge or becoming by millionaire. But in both the case as stated above the basic thing that we will need is attitude. Becoming a millionaire means having a lot of money which cannot be achieved without attitude, knowledge and hard work.

Hi,
From my point of view, it is important to have a good attitude,
no matter where you are,or else,without a good attitude,it
is difficult to mingle around with people and let the things done.
Of course, money and hardwork do play part too and Luck do play
a role in determining someone's life.
Some people may not need to work extra hard,but they are rich and
have everything they want. But some people have to work very hard,but
they still not able to get the things they want.
Of course, having a good knowledge may give an extra point for
a person to lead a better live.

While I don't think that money is the most important in our lives. I don't think that I can properly determine which of the other three factors is the most important. What I am saying is that I feel like all three of the others: attitude, knowledge and hard work are all equally important. I really don't think that a person will be successful in their lives if they are missing one of those three things in their lives.

A few days ago I overheard conversation between two colleagues. What prompted a strong reaction in me were the words: "You know them all."
Accumulate so much information that we use, either at work or in society and many of them become real millstones that hang from the necks of our consciousness. Theories, principles, judgments and prejudices learned and assimilated throughout life, from all others and which prevents us from seeing our own senses.
We live with the questions "why" and "how" deeply implemented in our system of evaluation of reality. We need to know, to explain, to know everything about everything. The mystery and the unknown attracts us, delight us, we are passionate and want to deciphering it, turn it known. This knowledge makes us comfortable and safe life and everything we know to some extent boring.
In a further understanding of the unknown and we are looking to accumulate as much information as useful and as practical. We reach a point where we feel that all this information what separates us from looking, we abruptly separates a mystery. As much as both are looking forward to finding the truth. Assess and categorize others according to the information they hold, depending on how many know and how they respond to the questions "why and how. We are more intelligent, better seen with both our knowledge is richer in information and we can use them more efficiently.
And the man behind the information when we have time to know him or they are what we know about him? Is the mystery is revealed by this information, or it deepens and harder? It's good for us to know as much or better to think less and feel better?

I think all the four are equally important and they are interlinked to each other. If we have a learning attitude, we'll gain knowledge. Knowledge is an excellent source to enhance your earnings & you can also share it among others. Hard work is incomplete without knowledge as per my experience. It's of no use working hard when you don't have enough knowledge. You can obtain very good results with your hard work provided you should possess good knowledge. When you have attitude, knowledge & you are a hard worker, there is no stopping for you in making money. So, the equation goes like this - Attitude+knowledge+hard work = Money. Some people say money is not important, but I would say it's important & very much necessary to survive & fulfill all our desires. If money was not important, why would anyone join Mylot?

I think attitude and hard work are both important if you have these you can learn and gain knowledge and then use any knowledge you have gained with your attitude and hard work to do well in any career or buisness you embark on and earn more than enough money.

For me, I think attitude is the most important among the four. In having the right attitude you can gain all three things. All the problem on knowledge, hard work and money roots down to having the correct attitude.
Attitude is defined as a predisposition in life formed by three factors, beliefs, values and prejudices. Predisposition of a person drives or motivates a person into doing something or to achieve something. Without attitude, a person may not be pushed to do hard work nor be enticed to gain knowledge, which usually what one needs to have access to a lot of money.

You know, all of this are important. Attitude shows what kind of person you are. It is important for us to mingle with other people. We need knowledge for us to know what's around us or what to do in life. We need hardwork for us to earn money for living.

I give equal importance to attitude, knowledge, hardwork and money. To become a successful person four of the above are very essential. Here you give least importance to money. If money is not with us, we won't get any recognition in our society. People always recognize those kind of people who are having lot of money. So I can say that money is the main weapon which give some value to us at the places where we are living.

I agree.. ATTITUDE, attitude and ATTitude is more important... Of course GOOD attitude and proper attitude. Once you use your attitude in a nice and proper way you can achieve all what you want, even you have good knowledge, but you dont know how to manage your attitude it is useful same as hardowrk and money; all of these needs right attitude...

At first I'm confused with your discussion but later I've realized that Attitude, Knowledge, Hard work or money are intertwined with each other.But If I'm going to rank it I prefer Attitude, knowledge, hard work and money in the end.

I believe it is attitude that is most important as it leads to all the others as depending on our attitude is the outcome of know ledge we learn and how hard we work and that leads us to make money,dont you agree?

I would have to say that attitude would be the best thing out of the four. The reason for this, is that the other three can be acquired by having the proper attitude and thus the proper mindset to say the very least. I mean, with a good attitude, we can take the steps to acquire knowledge. We need a good attitude to work hard. We need a good attitude to do the things we need to make money.
Everything does tie back to having the best attitude possible. Therefore, attitude is an extremely important element in life. Without have the right attitude, we are going to suffer big time and our lives are not enriched to the heights that we really want it to. Therefore, in the end, out of the four, attitude does tend to tie into acquiring the other three qualities.
