With the first two, you've covered almost every possible combination
of events anyway.

Setting goals is not necessarily important.  I know a number of rather
successful individuals (my husband included) who don't set goals, at
least not consciously.  But they have an inordinate ability to be able
to cope with whatever life hands them.

I'd add one more to your list, though: luck.

Setting goals gives you something to aim for.  The right skills and
the right attitude allow you to make the best of any opportunity that
comes your way.

But the opportunity has to be there to grab.  Even those who appear to
"make their own opportunities" are taking advantage of an opening, no
matter how small or fleeting.
