Success is very important. But it does not come to our doors so often, so easily. It takes time! It takes efforts! Are you thirsty for success?1.

First: start young! That’s what pop star Shakira did. She first performed in public aged four and for nine years, she wrote songs and sang for her friends. For the last 15 years, she has been one of the most successful pop singers in the world.

2. You can try to be confident(自信的).When Steven Spielberg didn’t get into film school, he pretended( 假 裝 ) that he had a job at Universal Studios. 3. And he worked there for three months. For nearly 40 years, Spielberg has directed many famous Hollywood films.

It isn’t just confidence. Our third tip is: work very hard. The “10, 000-hour rule of success” says you need to practice for 10,000 hours.4. Microsoft founder Bill Gates is a good example; for about five years, when he was a teenager, he spent 10,000 hours working on a computer. His hard work gave him a big advantage over other people.

5. At the age of five, Novak Djokovic decided he wanted to be the best tennis player in the world. Djokovic modeled himself on his hero, champion(冠軍) Pete Sampras—he tried to be better than Sampras and everyone else. In 2011, Djokovic, aged 24, won three major world championships and became the World Number One.

A. That’s about six hours a day for five years.

B. Still he walked confidently past the guards.

C. If you can’t start young, it doesn’t matter too much.

D. Follow our four secrets of success and you can succeed.

E. Others can also encourage you, so the next tip is: set your goals high

When I was a child, I didn’t have hair on my head. I liked to watch my friends play. I would join them now and then, but I liked watching them better. Every day, we could see an old man walk by our playground, carrying an umbrella. He had big ears and a bald head. The moment my friends saw him pass by, they would shout, “Hey, deaf and dumb, what’s the time?” They told me that he could not hear or speak.

It was early evening, I was standing at the gate of my house when I saw the old man coming. I was alone. There were no friends around to shout the usual words of “greeting”. But how could I let this man walk by without saying anything?” So for the first time, I asked in a soft voice, “Hey, deaf and dumb, what’s the time?”

The old man looked at me. Then he looked at his watch and answered, “It’s five thirty.” I ran inside the house and never shouted at the man after that.
