[美文欣賞]

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!

[參考譯文]

成功對于不同的人來說意義不同。一些人將它等同于聲望，有人將它等同于財富另一些人將它等同于成就。對我來說，成功意味著完成一個人的夢想。不管你的夢想是什么，你有一個目標并且為之傾注心力。夢想帶給你希望和幸福。在為之奮斗的過程中，你流淚，流汗，抱怨甚至詛咒，但是收獲的快樂會令你忘卻著所有你所經歷的痛苦與艱辛。所以一句老話說最甜蜜的果實是在最艱苦的奮斗后得來的。

這里有一些成功的秘訣。首先，你的目標必須現實可行。如果你制定的目標太高，你也許會永遠無法達到。再者，又必須為之制定計劃。你可以分步驟地實現他。因為過程將是艱苦的，你必須勤奮，耐心，堅持不懈。即使你遇見了困難與挫折，也要將之克服。你要總是告訴自己沒有什么事不能克服的。帶著這樣的決心，成功必然在道路的盡頭等著你。
