I searched the term "strike" and The Daily Enterprise newspaper came up. I learned about a strike called the Telegraphers' Strike in Livingston, which was caused by the refusal to add 15 cents to salaries and reduction of labor. It says that "no such widespread and general strike has ever been known in the history of the world." I read another newspaper called the Pittsburg Dispatch about Andrew Carnegie. It talked about how he grew up poor and couldn't afford to buy books until he made the money to buy them, and says, "His generosity now makes it forever impossible that any other poor boy in Pittsburgh shall endure the same disadvantage."

1. Opportunity, hard work, skill, luck. 2. The reason I put the word opportunity as the most important is because you have to be given the opportunity to succeed. Without opportunity there would be no reason to do anything, and people wouldn't be able to take chances to discover what they're good at. Taking opportunities open doors for people to become better, but without hard work, the opportunities given won't get you far.

Luck is last because I believe that few people get lucky enough to become successful, but most people have to have hard work and dedication in order to gain success. 3. http://www.christophedelsol.com/3-success-rules-that-will-change-your-l...
