     When you think of success, you think of relative achievements in your own world. Each element of your
world is important to you, and there is no need to compare with others. You cannot affect the success of
others; you can affect your own success.
     Success is very much achievable to everybody. Believe that and you have taken the first step. If you do
not believe in yourself, then building self-esteem is your first task. However, believing in your ability to achieve
whatever you want to succeed in, is very important if you are not to be held back by self-doubt throughout
your journey to success.
     There are many things that will affect your ability to succeed, and it is best to focus on those under your
immediate control. Once you do that, then the characteristics you develop can be applied to becoming
successful in a range of activities.
     What is important to you is that, as you start to reach milestones in your ambitions, you should appreciate
your own achievements. Appreciating yourself will strengthen your self-confidence and your determination
to succeed.
     Some of the key characteristics you will find in those who are successful are perseverance, prepared to
research, plan, work hard and practice a lot even when things do not seem to be going well, and an ability to
recover and learn from setbacks. At the beginning of whatever you are trying to succeed in, a strong vision
of your future, planning, and setting yourself achievable tar gets can all play an important role.
     All these qualities, skills and characteristics can be learned and developed. But it is up to you to get things
started. Those who do not start travel nowhere. For others, life can be a continuous journey of fulfillment.

     One year ago today, seven patients shared their stories of illness and recovery on the New York Time Well
(a blog), according to a report published in April,2009.
     They were the first Patient Voices, a regular series that offers a first person (第一人称的) description of
the challenges patients face as they deal with different kinds of health problems. Since the first Patient Voices
appeared, New York Times producer Karen Barrow has continued to give a voice to a lot of patient stories.
     We heard from Jacqueline Castine of Bloomfield Hills, Mich,who had bipolar disorder (躁郁症), and whose
son also suffered from mental (精神的) illness."I could not save him," she said."I could not fix (惩罚 ) him.
He leaves a beautiful daughter and a very sad mother."
     And there is runner Alyssa Johnson,43,who was training for the Boston Marathon in 2003 when she began
showing the first signs of Parkinson's disease." Sometimes when I'm running I'll come to a long downhill, and
my legs work the way they used to work and my arm swings (摆动) the way it used to. It's like running before Parkinson's, and that's the best feeling.
     And then there's the voice of Robin Grinsted, 50, of Swansea, S. C.,who has H. I. V. She is refused by her
church and feels lonely."They're not accepting," she said." But I know there will be people putting their arms
around me some day."
