I started dabbling(涉足) in the Internet marketing in October 2010. It didn’t take long for me to become a victim(受害者) of the “become-a-millionaire(百万富翁)-overnight”______that was so popular on the Internet. I had supposed that selling things on the Internet was so easy that even beginners could start making money on the very ______ day. I spent most of my time advertising rather than learning ______ to advertise. However, half a year’s hard work led to no money at all.

In June, I found a program that was ______, and I began to learn from it. It wasn’t long before I gave ______ the “get-rich-quick” mind. I began to ______ that the Internet sale is a job like any other job and I would have to take it ______. I kept trying to cheer myself up, which I thought was the key to success in sales. I insisted on the excellent Internet marketing and then good ______ came. My dabbling became a hobby, and then passion(热情). Later passion ______ my business. I have really become a millionaire within a year.

本文讲述了什么是成功。2010年“我”开始涉猎互联网营销。“我”原以为在网上卖东西很容易，把大部分时间花在广告上。然而，半年的努力没带来任何钱。6月，“我”通过学习一个很有价值的项目，放弃了“快速致富”的想法，意识到网络销售是一份和其他工作一样的工作，必须认真对待。“我”坚持优秀的网络营销，有了激情，最后一年内成了百万富翁。“我”犯了很多错误，但“我”知道每一个错误都是前进。
