The Secret of Success
Your best chance of success is by doing what you really want to do. Ask yourself, "If money for free?" Then just do what you like to do.
Think about what you are going to do. You have to start somewhere and it may be quite a real beginning. Whether you are beginning in business or you're dreaming to be a star, you have to start at the bottom.
Great ambition(目标) is necessary. An English student called Richard Branson opened a student magazine when he was only 16 years old. But he didn't stop there. He also opened a record business with many shops, and now his company has planes, trains and cars.
The only people who succeed without hard work are lottery(彩票) winners. You need a "can do" attitude(态度) and you must work step by step, which will help you get what you really want. You are on the right way to win the success.
If you always say someone is successful, it doesn't mean anything to you. Learn from those who have already succeeded in something, especially where they do the same as you want to do.
A. Think big
B. Start small
C. Follow the leaders
D. Find the work you love
E. Be prepared to work hard
In 1945,6 planes and 17 men disappeared without a sign, all in one day. This was Flight 19. Flight 19's captain was Lieutenant Charles Taylor. Flight 19 was a usual flight. It took off at about 2:10 p.m. from Miami. The weather was very normal on that December 5th of 1945. A message was received at 4:00 p.m.that told about pilot Taylor not knowing the way to go because his compass(指南针) was running around and around.
After that,it was never heard from again.While searching for it,a search plane was also lost.The search for the both continued until December 10th of that same year.None of the things from Flight 19's planes,or from the search plane,was ever found.It is one of the most infamous disappearances. Searching for Flight 19 lasted five days,and covered 380,000 square miles. Dr. Kripke suggests that the accident happened because of a vortex(涡流).
