What do you think are the basic ingredients of a story?

I hate analysis, and I'm the last person to judge what is a good or lousy story. But for myself, I think a story needs a believable character, someone you can feel. He/she can lead a most boring existence if the character is strong. Incidentally, a strong character for me requires strong dialog, a language that kills. A basic ingredient of a good story is also the world in which the story takes place. Why is it interesting?
