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 in America.
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 are giving away your own power.
Write a plan.
It is very difficult trying 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.
Nothing great is easy to get. 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.
Never give up.
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. A good plan is like a map to you. B. It seems to us that everyone knows this. But it is easier said than done. C. Some people achieve success much later in life because they didn't work harder earlier. D. You are saying you have more control over my life than I do. E. Someone else's opinion of you doesn't have to become your reality. F. Be willing to pay the price. G. Here are some keys to success that they give. |
A. He owed it a lot to his father that he succeeded. B. But history, as they say, is a thing of the past. C. He took part in school performances and acted in a local theater. D. When he was young, Efron was an unqualified basketball player. E. He took school seriously. F. They scored and his team lost the game. G. As a young boy, Efron was picked on by his classmates. |
There is an English saying that goes, "he who laughs last, laughs the hardest." High School Musical star Zac Efron is laughing a lot these days.
{#blank#}1{#/blank#} Because he was always the smallest in his class and was laughed at because he had a big space between his teeth. In sixth grade, Efron's basketball team made it to be the league championship. In overtime, with three seconds left, he rebounded the ball and passed it to the wrong team! {#blank#}2{#/blank#}
{#blank#}3{#/blank#} Now Efron is one of People Magazine's 100 Most Beautiful People, graces (增加光彩) the cover of Entertainment Weekly, Hollywood's most influential magazine, and is traveling the world promoting the third High School Musical film. Director Adam Shankman described Efron as "arguably the biggest teen star in America right now." Simply google "Zac Efron", and you get more than 14 million responses. Yes, it seems Efron has a lot to smile about these days.
Efron was born and raised in California. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} According to Efron, "he would flip out (发疯) if he got a B and not an A in school, and that he was a class clown." It was his father who encouraged him to act. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} He also took singing lessons. He graduated from high school in 2006 and was accepted at the University of Southern California to study film. But he put it off—why study movies when you can star in them? Efron has risen all the way to the top of the movie business. And he can now laugh all the way to the bank.
