英语美文：成功（在线收听） |
Success means different things for different people. Some may equate it with fame, some with wealth and still some with accomplishments. For me, it means fulfilling one's dreams. Whatever your dreams are, you have a goal there and then focus all your attention on it. Dreams bring you hope and happiness. In the process of struggling for it, you cry, sweat, complain or even curse, but the joy of harvesting makes you forget all the pains and troubles you have gone through. So an old proverb says that the sweetest fruit is one that has undergone the bitterest ordeal. There are several keys to success. First, your goal must be practical and practicable. If you set your goal too high, chances are that you will never attain it. Next, you have to make a plan of doing it. You can take some steps to realize it. Since the process is quite tough, you need to be diligent, patient and persevering. Even if you meet with some difficulties or frustrations, just take them in your stride. You can always tell yourself that there is nothing insurmountable. With this will and determination, success is sure to wait for you at the end of the tunnel!

成功对于不同的人来说意义不同。一些人将它等同于声望，有人将它等同于财富另一些人将它等同于成就。对我来说，成功意味着完成一个人的梦想。不管你的梦想是什么，你有一个目标并且为之倾注心力。梦想带给你希望和幸福。在为之奋斗的过程中，你流泪，流汗，抱怨甚至诅咒，但是收获的快乐会令你忘却着所有你所经历的痛苦与艰辛。所以一句老话说最甜蜜的果实是在最艰苦的奋斗后得来的。
这里有一些成功的秘诀。首先，你的目标必须现实可行。如果你制定的目标太高，你也许会永远无法达到。再者，又必须为之制定计划。你可以分步骤地实现他。因为过程将是艰苦的，你必须勤奋，耐心，坚持不懈。即使你遇见了困难与挫折，也要将之克服。你要总是告诉自己没有什么事不能克服的。带着这样的决心，成功必然在道路的尽头等着你。 |
