成功的意义应该是发挥了自己的所长,尽了自己的努力之后,所感到的一种无愧于心的收获之乐,而不是为了虚荣心或金钱。
——罗兰
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 that cannot be dealt with successfully.With this will and determination,success is sure to wait for you at the end of the tunnel!
