Peter always doesn’t know the way. His friends often laugh at him. They say he needs a map to find the bathroom in his own house. In his eyes, every street looks the same, and he doesn’t know which way to go. Sometimes he has to take a taxi home because he can’t remember the way to his house.

Peter watches a lot of films and reads a lot of books about animals. Each bird knows which way is south. Bats (蝙蝠) can fly at night and find their way with their ears. He feels embarrassed (困窘的) because all these animals have a good sense of direction. He tries to find his way with the help of stars in the sky. There is a star called the North Star, and he knows how to find it.

Of course, Peter’s friends are still laughing at him, because he can only see the North Star outside when it is sunny at night. He can’t tell the directions in the daytime or when he is inside or when it is cloudy.

Nearly everyone wants to be successful. It can be very hard to succeed, though. Here is some advice to help you:

·Plan for success

Wanting success is not enough. You have to plan for it. Ask yourself: How am I going to be successful? What do I have to learn to achieve the success I want? And how long will it take me to get it? These questions will help you plan for your success.

·Form good habits

If you study the lives of successful people, you’ll find that they have excellent work habits. Edison, for example, had a habit of always coming up with new ideas, and this helped him become one of the greatest inventors. Forming such habits can be boring, but useful.

·Never stop learning

Successful people never stop learning. They never say“I’ve learned enough. There is nothing more I need to know.”You have to understand that the moment you stop learning is the moment you stop progressing. We live in an ever-changing (不断变化的) world, and need to be able to keep up with it.

·Let failure motivate (提升) you

It’s okay to fail, it happens to everyone. Michael Jordan, one of the most successful basketball player ever, used to say that his failure were what drove him to succeed. Learning from your mistake is what will put you on the road to the success you want.

Some 1. on having success

The thought that I’ve learned enough is wrong.

Let failure motivate you

If you can learn something from your 5. , you will achieve a lot.
