The Winner's Guide to Success
Do you know what makes people successful? To find out the answers, an American scholar recently visited some of the most successful people around the world.
Be responsible for yourself
Sometimes you may want to blame others for your failure to get ahead. In fact, when you say someone or something outside of yourself is stopping you from making success, you're giving away your own power.
Write a plan
It is very difficult to try to get what you want without a good plan. It is just like trying to drive through strange roads to a city far away. Without this “map”, you may waste your time, money and also your energy; while with the “map” you'll enjoy the “trip” and get what you want in the shortest possible time.
Be willing to pay the price
So you must be ready to work hard — even harder than you have ever done. If you are not willing to pay the price, you won't get anything valuable.
It seems to us that everyone knows this. But it is easier said than done.When you are doing something, you must tell yourself again and again: Giving up is worse than failure because failure can be the mother of success, but giving up means the death of hope.
A. Never give up.
B. Nothing is easy to get.
C. A good plan is like a map to you.
D. Here are some keys to success that they give.
E. Some people achieve success much later in life.
F. You're saying, “You have more control over my life than I do.”
G. Someone else's opinion of you doesn't have to become your reality.
The cultures of the East and the West really distinguish each other a lot. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}
The origin of the eastern cultures is mainly from two countries: China and India. Both of the two cultures are developed by rivers—the Yellow River in China and the Hindu River in India. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}
When the two mother rivers gave birth to the Eastern culture, another famous culture was brought up on the Mesopotamian Plain-the Mesopotamian Civilization. This civilization later on developed into the cultures of Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} Like the Chinese culture, the European culture also crossed waters. When the British settled down in America, their culture went with them over, the Atlantic Ocean. So the American culture doesn't distinguish from the European culture a lot.
{#blank#}4{#/blank#} Take the language system for example. In the East, most languages belong to the pictographic language while the Western languages are mostly based on the Latin system. Other causes like human race difference counts as well. But what's more, due to the far distance and the steep areas between the East and West, the two cultures seldom communicate until recent centuries. So they grew up totally in their own ways with almost no-interference (干扰)from the other.
The differences are everywhere. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} But different cultures make the world of 21st century more colorful. The cultural gap should not be the obstacle to the civilization of human being. It ought to be the motivation of our going farther.
A. Let us work together to keep a variety of culture. B. One important thing is to learn about other cultures. C. And these two are well-known as the base of the European culture. D. At the same time, some other differences add to the cultural differences. E. This is because the culture systems are two separate systems on the whole. F. They helped the two cultures develop for centuries and form their own styles. G. They are obvious and affect people's ways of thinking and their views of the world. |
