Some people are successful, while others may not. This is because some people have some qualities, which others do not.

　　The first thing you must remember is that in order to be successful, you must have optimism(乐观). If you do not look forward to winning, you will not try as hard as those who look forward to winning. You also need to have a clear aim and a reason for doing something because motivation(动机) is a key to achieving success. If you do not have an aim, then you will not be motivated to work hard and put your performance under the microscope (显微镜) to make sure that every detail is right.

Another quality that helps people to be successful is creativity---thinking about things in a different way and wondering how others would do the same thing. Think about some successful people you know. They might be successful with a little creativity, but the most successful people are the most creative ones.

　　Reading is another to success, as it will help you learn about how other people have achieved success. If you want to learn how to set up a successful business, you should read books about people like Bill Gates and Steve Jobs, who have achieved amazing success in their areas of business.

Practicing is also very important if you want to have success because practice makes perfect. Practice every day at whatever career you are in, and by doing so, you will see yourself, your business and your self-confidence begin to grow. If you feel confident about what you do, this confidence will make other people believe in you as well. Your partners will be happy to work with you, and your boss will give you more chances. Finally if you are a successful person, you will be able to look at people in the eye and smile confidently.
