Why are some people more successful than others Why do some people make more money, live happier lives and achieve much more in the same number of years than most people
Over the years, I have read thousands of books and articles on the subjects of success and achievement. It seems that the reasons for these achievements have been discussed for more than two thousand years, in every way. But one thing that most experts agree on is self-discipline (自律).
Some years ago, I went to a meeting in New York. I happened to meet a gentleman. His name was Kopmeyer. He was famous in the field of success and achievement. He had written four books, and each of them had 250 success principles . He had developed these during more than 50 years of research and study. I had read all of his books more than once.
Luckily, I had a chance to talk with him. I asked him a question that many people would ask, "Of all the one thousand success principles you have discovered, which is the most important " He smiled at me as if he had been asked this question many times, and replied without thinking twice, "There are 999 different success principles, but without self-discipline, none of them work. " He went on, saying, "Many years ago, Thomas Huxley said the most important success principle is, 'Do what you should do, when you should do it, whether you feel like it or not. '"
Self-discipline is magic because it opens all doors for you, and makes everything else possible.
( )1. How did the writer learn about the key to success
A. By reading a lot of books. B. By going to some meetings.
C. By asking some questions. D. By doing some research.
( )2. What can we learn from the passage
A. The subject of success is new to many people.
B. Kopmeyer developed one thousand success principles.
C. The writer asked Kopmeyer a special question.
D. Kopmeyer wasn't interested in the writer's question.
( )3. What can open all doors in your life
Having more chances. B. Working hard.
C. Self-discipline. D. Working in a team.
