Passage 1 : Success in Life
Success means different things for different people. Some may equate it
with fame, some with wealth and still some with accomplishments.
For me, it means fulfilling one's dreams. Whatever your dreams are, you
have a goal there and then focus all your attention on it.
Dreams bring you hope and happiness. In the process of struggling for it,
you cry, sweat, complain or even curse, but the joy of harvesting makes
you forget all the pains and troubles you have gone through. So an old
proverb says that the sweetest fruit is one that has undergone the
bitterest ordeal.
There are several keys to success. First, your goal must be practical and
practicable. If you set your goal too high, chances are that you will never
attain it. Next, you have to make a plan of doing it. You can take some
steps to realize it. Since the process is quite tough, you need to be
diligent, patient and persevering.
Even if you meet with some difficulties or frustrations, just take them in
your stride. You can always tell yourself that there is nothing
insurmountable. With this will and determination, success is sure to wait
for you at the end of the tunnel!
成功對於不同的人來說意義不同。一些人將它等同於聲望，有人將它等同於財富另一些人將它等同於成就。對我來說，成功意味着完成一個人的夢想。不管你的夢想是什麼，你有一個目標並且爲之傾注心力。夢想帶給你希望和幸福。在爲之奮鬥的過程中，你流淚，流汗，抱怨甚至詛咒，但是收穫的快樂會令你忘卻着所有你所經歷的痛苦與艱辛。所以一句老話說最甜蜜的果實是在最艱苦的奮鬥後得來的。
