漫步人生路 成功七大要素
I don’t believe that there is any one recipe for success. Instead, I believe success is the result of a combination of a lot of different factors - and not all of them are needed for success. The more factors you.have on your side, the more likely you are to succeed, and positive attitude is just one of those factors. Here are seven additional factors that are also important.
我不認爲成功有任何的祕訣.相反，我相信成功是多種因素結合的結果，其中有些因素對於成功是不必要的。擁有越多對你有利的因素，你就越有可能成功，積極的態度只是其中之一。以下7個因素也很重要。Knowledge A strong body of knowledge about the area in which you wish to succeed is often one of the key building blocks of success. You can build this by pushing yourself - read and try out the foundational materials and push yourself into challenging areas to build your knowledge.
知識。對你希望涉足的領域有充足的知識儲備往往是成功的關鍵基石。你可以通過閱讀或嘗試基礎性的東西使自己前進；或者，敦促自己進入有挑戰性的領域以建立自己的知識庫。Natural talent Some people are born with a predisposition to succeed in certain areas. Find this out for yourself by trying a lot of different activities and seeing what comes easy to you. The things you do with little or no effort that genuinely impress others are likely very near your natural talent, and natural talent combined with a lot of hard work leads to greatness.
天賦。有些人天生就具有在某些領域取得成功的資質。通過嘗試不同的活動，看看哪些更適合自己，找出適合自己的發展領域。那些你花費很少精力、不費吹灰之力去做能真正打動別人的事物，可能就是你的天賦所在。天賦加上勤奮就會成功。
Clear goals and planning Much like a trip, it’s a lot easier to get where you want to go if you know where you’re going and spend the time to plan the route you’ll take to get there. Think about what your definition of success exactly is, then identify some of the things that need to be done to help you move towards it.
明確目標和計劃。就像旅行一樣，如果你知道自己的目的地並花時間去計劃路線的話，達到目的地會很容易。想想你對成功確切的定義是什麼，然後明確一下那些能助你朝目標邁進的事情，並完成它們。Passion An intense, burning desire to dig deep into a particular area is often a sign that you’ll find success there. Much as with your natural talent, the way to find your passion is to touch on a lot of different areas and see what resonates for you.
激情。想要深入某一特定領域的強烈願望通常是你將在這一領域有所建樹的跡象。想象尋找自己的天賦所在一樣，找到自己的興趣所在的方式也是通過涉足不同的領域，看哪些能和自己長生共鳴。Focus/consistent effort Hard work is another key to finding success. You don’t become a champion without practicing every day. If you want to succeed in a certain area, work hard in that area and go beyond what others are doing - deliberate practice is one big key.
專注、始終如一的努力。努力是成功的另一關鍵。沒有每天的訓練不可能成爲冠軍。如果想在某一領域成功，那就在這一領域努力吧，而且要比其他人更努力---遊刃有餘也是一個重要環節。Luck/opportunity Luck and opportunity also play an important role in success - sometimes things just click due to forces outside your control. You can improve your luck by making as many strong personal contacts as you can and sharing what you have to increase their “luck” and “opportunities.”
運氣、機會。運氣和機會也發揮了重要作用—有時事情受你控制之外的外力影響只會曇花一現。你可以儘可能多地建立人際關係，與他們分享自己所得，這可提升他人的運氣和機會，通過這些想法，你也會改善自己的運氣。Cooperation/support Along with luck comes cooperation - the fact that others are working in small ways to help you succeed rather than hinder you. A spouse telling you that you can do this is going to go a lot further than a spouse telling you you’ll never make it.
合作、支持。伴隨着好運一起來的是合作---事實在於，別人是通過不顯著的方式助你成功，而並沒有阻礙你。鼓勵遠比打擊更能使人進步。
