The Winner’s Guide to Success

Do you know what makes people successful? To find out the answers, an American scholar recently visited some of the most successful people in America. 1.

Be responsible for yourself.

Sometimes you may want to blame others for your failure to get ahead. In fact, when you say someone or something outside of yourself is stopping you from making success, you are giving away your own power. _2.

Write a plan.

It is very difficult trying to get what you want without a good plan. It is just like trying to drive through strange roads to a city far away. _3. Without this “map”, you may waste your time, money and also your energy; while with the “map” you’ll enjoy the “trip” and get what you want in the shortest possible time.

_4.

Nothing great is easy to get. So you must be ready to work hard — even harder than you have ever done. If you are not willing to pay the price, you won’t get anything valuable.

Never give up.

__5. When you are doing something, you must tell yourself again and again: Giving up is worse than failure because failure can be the mother of success, but giving up means the death of hope.

A. A good plan is like a map to you.

B. It seems to us that everyone knows this. But it is easier said than done.

C. Some people achieve success much later in life because they didn’t work harder earlier.

D. You are saying you have more control over my life than I do.

E. Someone else’s opinion of you doesn’t have to become your reality.

F. Be willing to pay the price.

G. Here are some keys to success that they give.

Mail lay scattered across the kitchen table. I couldn’t put off sorting through it any longer. I checked the envelopes, putting aside the ones addressed to my husband.

It had been over three years since Bob had died. To friends and family it looked like I had moved past the worst of my sorrow. I took care of my house, socialized and kept up with community. On the outside everything appeared to be normal. But inside I was anything but I worried I would never get better, never be myself again. They say sorrow has no set time limit, but I was so tired of feeling empty and hopeless. My sorrow was sharp and fresh as ever. It was like a wall of pressure in my chest, pressing my heart.

I picked up a piece of Bob’s mail and held it out to tear in half, but stopped myself from cutting up the envelope. The letter was from an organization that funded a Haitian orphanage called My Father’s House. Its founder, Carol Hawthorne, had given a presentation at our church. Bob and I had donated, and Bob ended up on the mailing list to receive the newsletter (通讯) with updates on the children.

I hadn’t read one since Bob died. But just three months before, in January 2012, the country had been hit by a terrible earthquake. In my depressed state, it hadn’t even occurred to me to wonder whether the orphanage had survived. I opened the newsletter and was surprised to find out that My Father’s House was still standing. Of course now it was more crowded than ever. At the bottom of the page was an announcement about an upcoming trip to visit the orphanage in person. “I should go.” The thought wouldn’t leave me. I contacted Carol Hawthorne.“What would I do if I go?” I asked.“Build houses?”

“The Haitian people there are eager to work and they know what they’re doing,” said Carol. “What they need are raw materials, and we provide them. We also visit with the children. We go to clinics and schools, pass out supplies. You’ll be very busy, I promise!” I reserved a seat but didn’t mention it to any of my friends. Just a few weeks later, I was at the airport with seven strangers, waiting to board a plane to Haiti. Even after takeoff I wasn’t really sure of what I was doing.

In Haiti we were met by Pastor Ronald Lefranc, the director of My Father’s House. We piled into an old school bus and drove over uneven roads full of stones and mud. We passed women shaking under the weight of huge water buckets balanced on their heads. Piles of rubbish scattered across the landscape, and the land was covered with broken tents. Finally we pulled up to the orphanage. A crowd of children—52 in all—rushed up to greet us. I couldn’t understand the words of the song they sang in Creole, but with the smiles on their faces I didn’t need to. Each child planted a big kiss on my cheek.

Carol and Pastor Ronald led us into the main building. “What are those over there?” I asked, pointing to a collection of thin tents. “Is there not enough room in the building for all the children?”

“We have the room,” said Pastor Ronald. “But many of these children came here after the earthquake. They still don’t feel safe sleeping under a roof.”

There was no sign of fear in the playroom inside. I played dolls and other games. Children I’d just met presented me with pictures they’d drawn and letters written in Creole. In the evening the children gathered in the dining room. They took turns reading aloud and then they all joined in song. The words were strange, but the tune sounded familiar.

They’d lost so much, yet were so joyful. In the evening the children gathered in the dining room. One of the older children stood up to speak and then they all joined in song. The words were strange, but the tune sounded familiar. The children settled down. In the silence, a quiet noise began.

As jewelry designers，my sister Jodie and I are always traveling for work．We need to go to a lot of shows，so we can’t pack lightly and usually bring about four suitcases filled with our work．

Most of our stuff is made from heavy materials and metals．So part of the routine for us when we fly is getting stopped by security．Our jewelry sets off the alarms，and we’ve become accustomed to arriving early to go through private screenings．Most of the time，it’s not troublesome.

However，on our recent trip to a Paris trade show，we were stopped at security and asked to empty our bags. One of the agents walked over to another agent and they started whispering to each other．Both gentlemen came back，and one of them then told us that it seemed that we were carrying a very dangerous object.

My sister and I just said，“Huh?”Of course，we were a little concerned，thinking that maybe someone put something dangerous in one of our bags when we weren’t looking．

One of the agents then started to unpack our bags．I kept asking what he was 1ooking for and then the object in question finally appeared．It was our Cosima necklace．It's a piece of jewelry，with large，metal triangular spikes．

My sister and I 1ooked at each other and breathed a huge sigh of relief．We started laughing and explained to the two male agents that it was just a necklace from our collection．not a weapon of mass destruction．They thought we were lying，and one agent kept repeating that he believed it was a weapon.

I tried to explain that we were jewelry designers going to a trade show，and this was simply a piece from our collection．But the agents didn’t buy it．Then a few women guards came over to assist．One of the women guards was holding an earring up to her ear and another was trying on a ring．Apparently，they liked our stuff．

It was only at this point that the male guards gave up．And I think they also got tired of listening to a bunch of women talk about jewelry．They let us through．

We took the names of the women agents and sent them a piece of jewelry when we got back to say thanks．

1.The writer and her sister were stopped by the agents because ________.

A．their suitcases were too heavy

How to Win a Debate Competition

Debating doesn’t mean that you can end up arguing with your opponents(对手). 1.The following tips on how to win a debate will further help you out.

1. 2.

2. Be confident.

When you are putting your point in front of your opponents as well as the audience, be sure of yourself. Along with the words, your body language, voice modulation (语调) and eye contact, will play a major part in your success in debating. 3.

3. Give real life examples.

While debating, make use of very simple language, which your audience can understand very easily. Give as many real examples as you can when making a point. 4.Thus, the judges and audience will find you much more convincing.

4. Be descriptive.

To win any debate, there is something about the human mind that you should be aware of. The thing with us humans is that if we see something, we believe and remember it much more than something we merely hear! 5.Tell you point of view in such a way that they can actually “see” what you are saying. If you are somehow able to pull this off, there is no doubt that you will be the winner of the debate competition!

Follow the tips mentioned above, and with time, you will see yourself winning over your judges and audience.

C. Try to paint a picture in the mind of your judges and audience.
