天时不如地利，地利不如人，是一个古老的谚语，意思是说成功的关键在于三个因素：天时、地利和人。其中，天时指的是自然环境和历史背景，地利指的是地理环境和社会条件，人则是指人的能力、智慧和选择。

在现代社会，天时因素已经无法被改变，但地利和人的因素却可以被积极地利用。一个人如果能够充分利用自己所处的环境和条件，发挥自己的能力和智慧，就有可能获得成功。

但是，地利和人的因素并不是绝对的。即使一个人处在理想的环境和条件下，如果他没有足够的能力和智慧，也不可能获得成功。同样地，一个人即使具备非常出色的能力和智慧，如果所处的环境和条件不利，也难以获得成功。

因此，对于我们每个人来说，关键在于如何充分利用我们所拥有的地利和人的因素，同时尽可能地改变不利的因素。只有这样，我们才能够在这个竞争激烈的社会中获得成功。

Time and tide wait for no man. This ancient proverb highlights the importance of taking advantage of opportunities when they arise. Success depends on three factors: timing, location, and people. Timing refers to the natural environment and historical background, location refers to the geographical environment and social conditions, and people refer to one's abilities, intelligence, and choices.

In modern society, timing cannot be changed, but location and people can be actively utilized. If someone can fully utilize their environment and conditions, and bring out their abilities and intelligence, they may achieve success.

However, location and people are not absolute factors. Even if someone is in an ideal environment and condition, without enough ability and intelligence, success is difficult to achieve. Similarly, even if someone has excellent ability and intelligence, if their environment and conditions are unfavorable, success is also difficult to achieve.

Therefore, for each of us, the key is to fully utilize the location and people factors we possess, while changing unfavorable factors as much as possible. Only then can we succeed in this competitive society.
