New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg says the key to success is never stop learning, take risks and give back to society.

Bloomberg made the comments Friday during his weekly WOR radio show. A caller asked him to explain his formula for success.

The mayor said luck played a part too. But he said “the harder you work, the luckier you get.”

He said he always was the first one in the office and last one to leave.

Bloomberg said you can’t control how smart or lucky you are but you can control how hard you work.

He also said if you’re scared to take risks “you’re going to fit in with the crowd.”

His other advice: “Have the courage of your convictions and be consistent” but admit when you’re wrong.
