Success

I believe success is the result of a combination of a lot of different factors - and not all of them are needed for success. The more factors you have on your side, the more likely you are to succeed, and positive attitude is just one of those factors. Here are some additional factors that are also important.

我相信成功是多种因素结合的结果，其中有些因素对于成功是不必要的。拥有越多对你有利的因素，你就越有可能成功，积极的态度只是其中之一。以下因素也很重要。

Knowledge: A strong body of knowledge about the area in which you wish to succeed is often one of the key building blocks of success. You can push yourself by reading and trying out the foundational materials.

知识。对你希望涉足的领域有充足的知识储备往往是成功的关键基石。你可以通过阅读或尝试基础性的东西使自己前进。

Clear goals and planning: Much like a trip, it’s a lot easier to get where you want to go if you know where you’re going and spend the time to plan the route you’ll take to get there. Think about what your definition of success exactly is, then identify some of the things that need to be done to help you move towards it.

明确目标和计划。就像旅行一样，如果你知道自己的目的地并花时间去计划路线的话，达到目的地会很容易。想想你对成功确切的定义是什么，然后明确一下那些能助你朝目标迈进的事情，并完成它们。

Passion: An intense, burning desire to dig deep into a particular area is often a sign that you’ll find success there. Much as with your natural talent, the way to find your passion is to touch on a lot of different areas and see what resonates for you.

激情。想要深入某一特定领域的强烈愿望通常是你将在这一领域有所建树的迹象。象寻找自己的天赋所在一样，找到自己的兴趣所在的方式也是通过涉足不同的领域，看哪些能和自己产生共鸣。

Focus/consistent effort: Hard work is another key to finding success. You don’t become a champion without practicing every day. If you want to succeed in a certain area, work hard in that area and go beyond what others are doing.

专注、始终如一的努力。努力是成功的另一关键。没有每天的训练不可能成为冠军。如果想在某一领域成功，那就在这一领域努力吧，而且要比其他人更努力。

Cooperation/support Along with luck comes cooperation - others are working in small ways to help you succeed.

合作、支持。伴随着好运一起来的是合作---别人是通过不显著的方式助你成功。
