Eight Things That Lead to Success
"What leads to success?" This may be a question asked by those who want to make something of their life. For seven years, Richard. John made 500 interviews. Here he wants to tell you what really leads to success.
And the first thing is passion.
Freeman Thomas says, "I'm driven by my passion." TED-sters do it for love; they don't do it for money. Carol Coletta says, "I would pay someone to do what I do."
Work
Rupert Murdoch said to me, "It's all hard work. Nothing comes easily. But I have a lot of fun." Did he say fun? Rupert? Yes! I figure, they're not workaholics. They're workafrolics（醉心工作者）.
Good!
Alex Garden says, "To be successful put your nose down in something and get damn good at it"
There's no magic; it's practice, practice, practice.
And it's focus.
Norman Jewison said to me, "I think it all has to do with focusing yourself on one thing."
And push!
David Gallo says, "Push yourself. Physically, mentally, you've got to push, push, push. You gotta push through shyness and self-doubt." Goldie Hawn says, "I always had self-doubts. I wasn't good enough; I wasn't smart enough. I didn't think
I'd make it." (Laughter) Frank Gehry said to me," My mother pushed me."
Serve!
Sherwin Nuland says, "It was a privilege to serve as a doctor." And the first thing I say to them is: "OK, well you can't serve yourself; you gotta serve others something of value. Because that's the way people really get rich."
Ideas!
TE D-ster Bill Gates says, "I had an idea: founding the first microcomputer software company." I'd say it was a pretty good idea. And there's no magic to creativity in coming up with ideas- it's just doing some very simple things. And I give lots of evidence.
Joe Kraus says, "Persistence is the number one reason for our success." You got to persist through failure. You got to persist through CRAP! Which of course means "Criticism, Rejection, Assholes and Pressure." (Laughter)
A. So why don't I ask them what helped them succeed, and pass it on to kids?
B. And the interesting thing is: If you do it for love, the money comes anyway.
C. Now a lot of kids tell they want to be millionaires.
D. LED-sters do have fun working. And they work hard.
E. Persist!
F. Investing their money in pursuing a future lifestyle rather than in an academic conquest.
G. Now it's not always easy to push yourself, and that's why they invented mothers.
While it is impossible to live completely free of stress, it is possible to prevent stress as well as reduce its effect when it can't be avoided. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}
Try physical activity
{#blank#}2{#/blank#} Running, walking, playing tennis, and working in your garden are just some of the activities you might try.
Make time for yourself
Schedule time for both work and entertainment . Don't forget, play can be just as important to your overall well-being as work. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} Go window-shopping or work on a hobby. Allow yourself at least a half hour each day to do something you enjoy.
Take care of yourself
{#blank#}4{#/blank#} If you easily get angry and can't sleep well enough, or if you're not eating properly, it will be more likely that you will fall into stressful situations. If stress repeatedly keeps you from sleeping, you should consult a doctor.
{#blank#}5{#/blank#}
Stress can result from disorganization and a feeling that "there's so much to do, and not enough time". Trying to take care of everything at once can be too much for you and as a result, you may not achieve anything. Instead, make a list of everything you have to do, then do one thing at a time, checking off each task as it is completed. Set out to do the most important task first.
A. You should make every effort to eat well and get enough rest. B. Do whatever you like and want to do. C. The following are suggestions for ways to deal with stress. D. You need a break from your daily routine to just relax and have fun. E. When you are nervous, angry or upset, try releasing the pressure through exercise or physical activity. F. You could smile to yourself in front of a mirror every day. G. Make a list of things to do |

A. Holidays and expenses go hand in hand. B. So do remember to make time for yourself. C Set aside your differences and agree to disagree. D. There are a lot of expectations around the holidays. E. But the holiday season can also be a very stressful time. F. You do not actually realize it is a great relief to your tight mood. G. This is especially true if you host family parties for out-of-town guests. |
Many people look forward to the holiday season, which provides an opportunity to take a few days off, or go on a getaway. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} The combined effort of shopping, attending social events, and entertaining guests can quickly become too much to handle.
{#blank#}2{#/blank#}This means you may end up with financial pressure. To prevent stress over money, plan ahead; review your finances, and come up with a practical budget.
Purchases shouldn't affect your ability to pay your bills, nor should it result in costly credit card debt.
The holiday season is stressful when you have too much on your plate. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}You actually needn't cancel your plans, but make sure everything doesn't have to be perfect, and you don't have to do everything yourself- get your family involved.
A holiday season is not always an interval of true relaxation: Sometimes it can mean a lot of rushing around with confusion; allowing you no moment alone. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}Even as little as 15 minutes alone can make a world of difference as you need to take a breather and clear your mind!
Being in close quarters with your family members for a long holiday can be stressful in itself. Because of your different personalities, it may be easy to rub each other the wrong way. If you let every remark get under your skin, you'll be stressed out the entire time. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} Don't let the actions of others rob you of your joy.

A. As a mother, she takes good care of us and gives us every comfort. B. She enjoys listening to classic music. C. She never goes to expensive restaurants to enjoy meals. D. She loves her students and cares for them. E. My mother is hard-working and never wastes money. F. Can you tell us something about your mother? G. I never forget it and always bear it in my mind. |
My mother is a diligent and kind woman. She is very busy from morning till night. As a teacher, she works hard. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} Both my brother and I love her dearly as she loves us.
My mother has been teaching math at a middle school in my hometown. She goes to work early in the morning and does not return home until late in the afternoon. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} She treats them with patience and teaches them well. For her excellent quality and very good teaching results, she has been elected as a model teacher several times.
{#blank#}3{#/blank#} Every day, when she comes back home from work, she sets about doing housework, sweeping the living room and bedrooms or cleaning the furniture, and putting everything in good order. She seems to be busy all the time. As she has been very busy working every day, she looks older than her age. But she looks as cheerful and happy as ever. Mother never buys expensive dresses for herself, but she often buys some inexpensive but high quality clothes for us. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} She just eats a plain meal outside when she is too busy to cook herself. She lives a busy yet simple life, without any complaints.
Often she says to us, "work while you work, and play while you play. That is the way to be happy and gay. If you do not work, you will become lazy and be of no use to society". What a piece of good advice this is! {#blank#}5{#/blank#} This advice of hers will always serve as a guide to my behavior. My mother is great indeed, and I always feel proud of her.
