The Winner’s Guide to Success
Do you know what makes people successful? To find out the answers, an American reporter recently visited some of the most successful people around the world. 36 .
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're giving away your own power. 37 .
Write a plan.
It’s very difficult to try to get what you want without a good plan. It’s just like trying to drive through strange roads to a city far away. 38 . Without this “map”, you may waste your time, money and also your energy; while with the “map”, you will enjoy the “trip” and get what you want in the shortest possible time.
39 .
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.
40 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 don’t work hard earlier.
D. You're saying, "You have more control over my life than I do."
E. Someone else’s opinions of you don’t have to become your reality.
F. Be willing to pay the price.
G. Here are some keys to success that they give.
