Dreamer,
According to your saying, would it all come under this precedent: Passion-->>Effort-->>Hardworking-->>Money-->>Wealth ?
If it is so, then you are indeed indicating the 5 levels contained in the
Hierarchy Of Needs.
According to m-w.com, passion, other than the often capitalized usage in the biblical studies, are:
intense, driving, or overmastering feeling or convictionHence, if one needs to make things right
first,
conviction is needed, hence
passion.
Good one indeed.
However still, this is still NOT enough to make a person to achieve something
groundbreaking I believed, and I also thinks that my believe is nothing since it is not from a scholar, but still there is a
missing piece of
virtue that is ultimately needed to ensure not a conviction, but a FULL and UNDIVIDED one. Ideas are needed here, dreamer.

SevenTwentyOne,
Whether that is ENOUGH or NOT, that is a SEPARATE question. But, without PASSION, you will NEVER START and SUSTAIN your effort. Hence, you will not have a SHOT to achieve anything significant to begin with.
Do you UNDERSTAND something SIMPLE??
You could ONLY put in YOUR EFFORT and give your BEST SHOT. There is NEVER a guarantee that you will be successful. You could NEVER control all the external variables that determine the FINAL OUTCOME. But, if you do not give your BEST SHOT, your chance of succeeding is even lower.
Focus and execution. The rest is up to God / Karma.

P.S.: My statement is from the FIRST HAND OBSERVATION of my life and many of my friends and family members.
P.S.2: How old are you?? What have you done in your life?? There are things that I could tell you but until you experienced it yourself, you will not understand what I am talking about.

Actually, as long as you achieve what you want to achieve then you are succesful.
A successful person would then be simply categorized as one who constantly achieve their goals.
It has nothing to do with how you feel.
teongpeng,
The SECRET of Happiness is contentment.
Contentment = achieving goal.
They go together...
