Some people succeed,while others may not.This is because some people have certain qualities,which others do not.
The first thing you must remember is that in order to succeed,you must be optimistic(乐观的).If you do not expect to win,you will not try as hard as those who do expect to win.
You also need to have a clear aim and a reason for doing something because motivation(动力is a key to achieve success.If you do not have a purpose,then you will not be motivated to work hard and put your performance under the microscope to make sure that every detail is right,Another quality that helps people succeed is creativity(有创造力)--thinking about things in a different way and wondering how others would do the same thing.Think about some successful people you know.They might be successful with a little creativity,but the most successful people are the most creative ones.
Reading is another to success,as it will help you learn about how other people have achieved success.If you want to learn how to set up a successful business,you should read books about people like Bill Gates and Jerry Yang,who have achieved amazing success in their areas of business.
Practicing is also important if you want to succeed because practice makes perfect.Practice every day at whatever career you are in,and by doing so,you will see yourself,your business and your self-confidence begin to grow.If you feel confident about what you do,this confidence will make other people believe in you as well.Your colleagues(同事)will be happy to work with you,and your boss will give you more responsibility(职责).So you see,confidence is also important to help you be a successful person.
