I can tell you, sweety, that this would be the list of the most important aspects in poker, listed from the most to the least important:

1) Position. You get much more information about other players' ranges and tendencies by playing in position, as opposed to playing out of position.

2) Skill. When you know what you are doing at the table and have a plan vs. different types of players, you will manage to outplay them more often than not.

3) Cards. The least important is your holding. That is because when you do get to showdown (which happens much less than the pot ending prior to someone calling a river bet / checking on the river), it is important that you hold better cards than your opponent (obvious reasons).

It is important to understand that as you grow as a player, the position and skill overtake the importance of your cards. At lower levels you can win by just being patient and playing strong holdings, however, as you move up the stakes, players get more creative and play out-of-the-box poker, which requires skill and position.
