Kick Your Way To Success

No man in the world does not desire success. Actually every path to success starts with a great idea. There’s only one problem: good ideas are everywhere. When successful, what really matters is not having an idea, but having the courage to make it a reality. This usually means losing the sense of security of a normal job and the risk of getting a steady salary.

Even with a great idea and the courage to pursue it, your efforts will be worthless unless you are willing to take massive action. Write down your goals and the action steps you will take to pursue those goals. 【1】 Share it with others, so they will hold you accountable for achieving your plan. Make yourself responsible and master of your destiny.

Without passion, even the greatest vision will become weaker. Without passion, your energy and enthusiasm will flag when you meet with inevitable obstacles. 【2】

It’s the force allowing you to devote every moment of your workday to bring you closer to the success you are eager to.

Once you’ve made a decision, doubt is a worm that eats away at your ability to succeed. Life and work can be hard and even cruel. Remember, the race is not for the swift but rather those who persevere. Rather than allowing doubt to affect your progress, you should be confident in your vision and plan. 【3】

The old sayings of “no one is an island” and “there is a powerful man” may sound a bit old, but they don’t make them unreal. 【4】 Meeting regularly can be positive and provide new perspectives on your approach. The Internet makes it very easy to find a coach, an instructor, or a planning group that can provide the emotional support, experience, and wisdom to help turn your vision into reality.

A. Make your passion a physical trait of your personality.

B. Post your vision and plan in your bedroom, bathroom, office.

C. However, taking the easy way of dishonesty has a tendency to sneak back up on you.

D. In the process, adapt to your needs, but know that success will ultimately be yours.

E. Even with self-discipline, in the long run, you’ll need contact with spiritual leaders.

F. In the end, it causes far more problems than taking the risk of telling the truth.

【解析】

本文是一篇說(shuō)明文，介紹了如何踏上成功之路的幾點(diǎn)建議。

【1】空前說(shuō)用你的方式寫下你的目標(biāo)和你將采取的行動(dòng)步驟來(lái)追求這些目標(biāo)，此處承接上文，講的是寫完這些后接下來(lái)的做法，故B項(xiàng)（在你的臥室、浴室、辦公室張貼你的愿景和計(jì)劃）符合語(yǔ)境。

【2】本段講的就是激情的重要性，此處總結(jié)上文，講的是一定要有激情，故A項(xiàng)（讓你的激情成為你個(gè)性的一個(gè)身體特征）符合語(yǔ)境。

【3】空前說(shuō)與其讓懷疑影響你的進(jìn)步，你應(yīng)該對(duì)你的愿景和計(jì)劃充滿信心，此處承接上文，講的還是關(guān)于自信這個(gè)話題，故D項(xiàng)（在這個(gè)過(guò)程中，要適應(yīng)你的需要，但要知道成功最終會(huì)屬于你）符合語(yǔ)境。

【4】空后說(shuō)互聯(lián)網(wǎng)讓你很容易就能找到一個(gè)教練，一個(gè)指導(dǎo)員，或一個(gè)規(guī)劃小組，他們可以提供情感上的支持，經(jīng)驗(yàn)和智慧，幫助你把夢(mèng)想變成現(xiàn)實(shí)，這是對(duì)空處的舉例說(shuō)明，因此此處是說(shuō)要多與能在精神上給你支持的人接觸，故E項(xiàng)（即使你自律，從長(zhǎng)遠(yuǎn)來(lái)看，你也需要與精神領(lǐng)袖接觸）符合語(yǔ)境。
