How do successful people think?What drives them?Interviews and investigations (41)C that there are several keys to success that successful people share.
First of all,successful people never blame someone or something outside of themselves for their(42)F to go ahead.They realize that their future lies in their own hands.They understand that they cannot (43)H things in life,such as nature,the past and other people.But in the meantime,they are well aware that they can control their own thoughts and actions.They take (44)D for their life and regard this as one of the most empowering things they can do.Perhaps what most (45)Bsuccessful people from others is that they live a life"on purpose"----they are doing what they believe they are put here to do.In their opinion,having a purpose in their life is the most important element that enables them to become fully (46)J people.They hold that when they live their life on purpose,their main concern is to do the job right.They love what they do----and it shows.People want to do business with them because of their commitment (责任心).To live their life on purpose,successful people find a cause they believe in and (47)A a business around it.Besides,they never easily give up.Once they have set up goals in their life,they are (48)G to do whatever it takes to achieve their goals.Rather than seeing it (49)E or depressing they use the knowledge to spur themselves on and go after what they want energetically and passionately.

1.In the increasingly busier world where productivity is on the minds of many,instead of downloading the latest time management app,or forcing yourself to stay at work for hours on end,is there a(n) (51)B to being productive?
The first thing we should know is that willpower is a(n) (52)C source that can be entirely used up.So instead of(53)A yourself to simply try harder,a more methodical approach is suggested.
The first step:Get started!It may seem (54)C but studies have shown starting a project to be the biggest barrier to productivity.Before starting,our brain visualizes the hardest parts to come,and instead tries to simulate real work by focusing on small mindless tasks.
(55)B,there's construct of the mind known as the Zeigernik Effect (蔡格尼克效应),which helps humans to finish a task that they've already started.The Zeigernik Effect shows that when we don't finish a task,we experience (56)D and intrusive thoughts about it.So get started.
Now what about time management?Shockingly,when we look at most of the elite musicians in the world,we find that they aren't (57)A practicing more.Instead,they focus their energy on the hardest task.Those musicians have periods of intense work followed by breaks.Not relying on willpower,they rely on their (58)B and disciplined scheduling.Studies have found that most elite violinists generally follow a 90minute work rule with a 15to 20minute break afterwards every day.But how can you develop the discipline to follow this (59D?
One key point is giving yourself a deadline; write it down; mark it in your calendar.And you'll be much more likely to complete your task.On top of this,create something called an accountability (问责制) chart to (60)C your progress.In one column write the time span,and in the other the activities you accomplished during this time,(61)A those on a diet who record their food intake.
Writing down your progress allows you to (62)C evaluate your work.As opposed to inaccurately assuming what you've done,further (63)D your progress to the end helps to avoid small mindless work.
And finally,stop multitasking.Well it may feel like you're accomplishing more.But actually,studies show that multi-taskers are much less (64)B.Instead,try and make a list at night of what you want to accomplish tomorrow.With your action plan,you (65)D the idea of trying to complete multiple activities at once.
Your brain will find these less challenging.And it will make the starting process easier.With a clear goal and action plan in mind,your productivity levels can soar to new heights.
