Ability, plus motivation, plus attitude...

Ability is not what you say you can do, it is what you're capable of doing, and that capability or capacity established by the outcome you're are able to generate. But you cannot be truly capable without the right reason for action; motivation if you like.

But also, if your ability and motivation are fully sufficient and your attitude sucks, winning will remain an unattainable pursuit. So it is ability, plus motivation, plus attitude - attitude as in good and selfless conduct, taking joy in playing your part and not belittling the worth of other players, knowing that hating on others for trying to reach their dreams is not the way to reach yours.
