The Elements of Success

I don’t believe that there is any recipe for success. Instead, 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 seven additional factors that are also important.

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 build this by pushing yourself — try out to read some foundational materials and push yourself into challenging areas to build your knowledge.

Natural talent

Some people are born with a predisposition to succeed in certain areas. Find this out for yourself by trying a lot of different activities and seeing what comes easy to you. The things you do with little or no effort that genuinely impress others are likely very near your natural talent, and natural talent combined with a lot of hard work leads to greatness.

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, and then identify some of the things that need to be done to help you move towards it.

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(产生共鸣) for you.

Focus and 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 — deliberate practice is one big key.

Luck and opportunity

Luck and opportunity also play an important role in success — sometimes things just click due to forces beyond your control. You can improve your luck by making as many strong personal contacts as you can and sharing what you have to increase their ＂luck＂ and ＂opportunities＂.

Cooperation and support

Along with luck comes cooperation — the fact that others are working in small ways to help you succeed rather than hinder(阻碍) you. A spouse telling you that you can do this is going to go a lot further than a spouse telling you you’ll never make it.

【6】define

【7】Step

【8】deliberately

【9】add

【10】Chances

【解析】

【文章大意】文章主要介绍了作者对成功的理解，尤其介绍了影响成功的七个重要因素。

【1】opinions 信息归纳题 依据文章第一段可以得出作者介绍了他对于成功的观点，故用opinions 适合。

【2】likelihood 信息转化题 依据文章第一段中的 ＂The more factors you have on your side, the more likely you are to succeed＂可知此处使用的是 ＂likely＂一词的名词形式，故填likelihood。

【3】Negative 信息转化题 依据文章第一段中的 ＂positive attitude is just one of those factors＂ 可知积极的态度是成功的因素之一，故消极的态度要排除在外，故填Negative一词适合。

【4】attempt 信息转换题 依据文章中的＂try out to read some foundational materials and push yourself into challenging areas to build your knowledge＂（尝试阅读一些基础性的东西，并敦促自己进入有挑战性的领域）可知此处表示＂尝试做某事＂，故填attempt构成短语＂make an attempt to do sth.＂。

【5】diligence 信息转换题 依据文章中的＂natural talent combined with a lot of hard work leads to greatness.＂可知用 ＂diligence＂一词代替＂hard work＂表示＂勤奋＂之意，故填diligence。

【6】define 信息转换题 依据文章中的＂Think about what your definition of success exactly is＂可知此处需要用动词 ＂define＂。

【7】Step 信息转换题 依据文章中的 ＂the way to find your passion is to touch on a lot of different areas＂可知是＂步入很多不同的领域＂，故用 ＂step into＂代替 ＂touch on＂，所以填Step。

【8】deliberately 信息转换题 依据文章中的 ＂deliberate practice is one big key.＂以及表格中的内容可知此处需要用deliberate一词的副词形式来修饰动词practice。

【9】add 信息转换题 依据文章中的＂sharing what you have to increase their ‘luck’ and ‘opportunities’. ＂可知此处需要与increase一词进行转化，故需要用add一词。

【10】Chances 信息转换题 依据文章最后一段中的＂A spouse telling you that you can do this is going to go a lot further than a spouse telling you you’ll never make it.＂以及表格中的内容可知此处考查的是句式＂Chances are that…＂，故填Chances。
