成功三要素：目标、态度和自信
Goals, Attitude, Belief in Self Make Success
佚名 / Anonymous
I have always wondered about the secrets of successful people. What do they have that lifts them above the ordinary? How do they achieve the superhuman feats that elevate them above others?
First of all, I must affirm my belief in the earlier part of the statement accredited to Snowball in George Orwell' s Animal Farm "All animals are equal..."
All human beings are indeed equal, but why does it seem as if some are more equal than others?
I have spent some time studying biographies and autobiographies of great men and women and have found some common denominators among them all. I want to share some of them with you, hoping it will help you in your quest for success.
The first common denominator is a solid goal.
Successful people know what they want and are willing to do everything necessary to get it. They set big, hairy, audacious goals and believe in them so deeply that their lives naturally begin to gravitate toward those goals.
Second, successful people maintain a positive attitude. They believe in their goals and aspirations despite setbacks.
Mohammed Ali decided he wanted to be the greatest athlete ever and told the world he was the greatest even before he won a championship fight.
Perhaps the most famous example is former President Abraham Lincoln. He failed in business in 1831; he was defeated for a seat in the legislature in 1832; he failed in business again in 1833; he was defeated for elector in 1840; he lost his bid for Congress in 1843; he was defeated for vice president in 1856; he lost another run for the Senate in 1858; but he persevered.
He never gave up and was elected president in 1860. The rest, as they say, is history.
Third, successful people believe in themselves and a higher power. Success seems to favor those who have a healthy self-esteem and believe in a divinely endowed ability to achieve success and happiness.
The apostle Paul, a successful man who single handedly took the gospel around the then-known world, said in his letter to the Philippians, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." In that statement he affirmed his belief in himself and in God, which gave him strength.
Benjamin Franklin, who has been described as probably the most successful man who ever lived said, "It is the duty of mankind on all suitable occasions to acknowledge their dependence on the divine being..."
The word "success" has been abused and wrongly translated to mean stupendous wealth and fame. I beg to differ.
It is difficult to agree that Hollywood' s definition of success is true success. The price (unhappiness) is too high.
I believe success is the progressive achievement of career, personal and family goals, all at the expense of none.
A solid goal, a positive attitude and a strong belief would lead anybody who desires success along that path.
我一直想知道成功者的秘密。是什么使他们超凡脱俗呢？他们如何取得卓越的功绩，使他们超越其他人呢？
首先，我非常确定乔治·奥维尔在《动物庄园》中所说的话是正确的——所有动物都是平等的……
所有人都需要平等，但是有一些人看起来要比其他人更平等，这是为什么呢？
我用一些时间来研究名人的传记和自传，发现了一些共同之处。我想和你一起分享这些东西，希望会对你寻求成功有所帮助。
第一个共同点是：坚定目标。
成功人士都知道自己想要什么，并乐意做每一件必需的事情来取得成功。他们确立巨大、艰难、无畏的目标，并对其坚信不疑，他们的生命很自然地开始向那些目标转移。
穆罕默德·阿里在赢得拳击锦标赛冠军之前，就决定要成为有史以来最伟大的运动员，并告诉全世界，他是最伟大的。
其次，成功者保持着一种积极的态度。尽管有挫折，他们仍会坚信自己的目标和抱负。
或许最伟大的例子就是美国前总统亚伯拉罕·林肯了。1831年，他生意失败；1832年，他竞选立法机关的席位失败；1833年，生意再一次失败；1840年，他没有成为竞选人；1843年，竞选议会失败，1856年，竞选副总统失败；1858年，再一次竞选参议院失败；但是他从未放弃。
他始终坚持，终于在1860年被选举为总统。余下的，正如他们所说的，是历史了。
第三，成功者相信他们自己，相信他们有很高的能力。成功好像更喜欢那些有健康自尊心的人，相信神会赋予他们达到成功和幸福的能力。
使徒保罗是一位成功人士，他独自把福音书带到了后世，在他给腓力比书的信中说：“只要有耶稣支持我，我就可以做所有的事。”在这句话中，他肯定了他对自己和上帝的信心，这些能够给他力量。
本杰明·富兰克林或许是被描述的最成功的人了，描述中说：“在所有合适的场合相信神是人们的责任……”
“成功”这个词被滥用和被错误解释为惊人的财富和名声。我不赞同。
使人同意好莱坞对于成功的真正意义是很难的。代价太高了。
我相信成功是事业目标、个人目标和家庭目标的慢慢实现，任何一项都不会成为牺牲的代价。
一个坚定的目标、一个肯定的态度和一个强大的信念，能够指引任何渴望成功的人走上成功的道路。

As a young boy, I grew up with my eight siblings in a tin-roofed shack in Summerfield, Louisiana. I didn' t see my circumstance as an obstacle, even though we didn' t even have a real toilet in the house. I saw my life more as a card that had been dealt to me and I tried to make the most of it.
