1.What is success? I am nt ging t try t define success. I think a precise definitin is impssible! Is it winning a Gld Medal at the Olympic Games r winning Wimbledn, r being awarded a Nbel Prize? What else? I believe persnal success culd be anything at all—it des nt have t invlve public recgnitin. Wh is mre successful? A millinaire wh is unhappy, r an unnticed persn, wh has led a simple, quiet, sincere and happy life? The simplest definitin f success, I think, is "t set ut t d smething and t succeed in ding it".
The first step n the rad t success starts with belief. Believe yu can succeed and yu will. Achieving success in whatever endeavr(努力)yu chse may be the gal f life; because it gives yu freedm frm wrry. Culd that be?
Success means different things t every ne f us. Sme peple believe it is measured in financial terms, thers believe it is helping thers rather than helping themselves. Hwever, mst peple are mtivated t a great extent by public recgnitin. Hw many peple are really happy? Hw many peple are really ding what they want t with their lives? Incidentally, the ability t imagine makes us different frm animals.
Mst imprtant f all, I believe success is a matter f persnal grwth. If every day yu are develping r grwing just a millimeter, I believe ne is successful. Just being a slightly better persn each day fr me is success. I've gt a very lng way t g then!
Finally, always remember success is a prcess and is nt simply a matter f arriving at a destinatin. It's the jurney that really matters. Success is what yu becme in the ften very difficult and dangerus jurney dwn the river f life.
