Four Habits to Help You Succeed
We all want to succeed, whether it’s in losing weight or learning the guitar. For those who have tried and failed, success seems difficult to understand. Why does one person succeed where another person fails?   1 
Identify your core values
Finding your core values is in line with creating inner motivation.   2  Pick a handful of things and actually write them down. Remind yourself of your values every day, and reflect on whether you are honoring those values through your work.
Pick a goal and focus on it
Choose one goal to start something large enough that will give you a sense of accomplishment, while adjusting well to your core values. Focus is key here.  3  If you perform many tasks at a time, you might never complete your projects because they will take far too long.
Set a deadline for success
Set a date for success. Identify when you hope to achieve your goal.   4  By setting a time limit, you are making the process more real.

Failure can’t be avoided when you take risks, by its very definition, the desire to succeed means you are risking failure. Many people tend to give up far too early. Don’t fall into this trap! Remember your mindset earlier. Know it will happen. A failure is merely you working out the details, and learning what works and what doesn’t. Use failure. Treat it as a good thing, and march on!

A．The more focused you are on one goal, the higher chance you have of success.

B．Make the right decision.

C．I’ve made a list of four habits to help set goals and achieve them.

D．Stick to your goal.

E. Keep it realistic, while not giving you too much time.
F. Sit and reflect on what you value most.
G. Push yourself to be courageous, and take the next step.

Last night it snowed heavy. When Susan and I got up in this morning, we found the whole garden was covered with thick snow. So we decided clear the path. We got two spades but began our work at once. We both worked so hard that the path was clear soon. Seen this, our father felt very surprising. He smiled happily at us, telling us that we have done a good job and that he was proud for us. Finally Father gave us some pocket money as a reward for the Spring Festival. Susan and I was happy because we had all got the money through labor.

Manager,
I am an exchange student from China. Yesterday, I went to your cinema to see a film. The film was very well, but I did not enjoy it because there were some problem in the cinema.
First, the film was delayed as there were so much advertisements at the beginning. It was rather annoyed. Second, the sound of the film was too loud that I could hardly bear. The EXIT signs could not be seen clearly, which presented potential safety hazards. If something terribly should happen, it will be difficult for people to get out quickly.
As a visitor to your city, I’m disappointed with my experience in your cinema. I am writing a letter in the hope that you can consider about these problems and make more improvements.
Yours faithfully,
Li Hua

My father is now in his late forty but he looks young for his age. He is very strict with me, especial in my studies. Besides, I know he loves me deeply in his heart. Once I had failed to do well in my math exam, I was afraid that it would make my father angry and disappointing. On contrary, he said I had tried my best and offered him a few words of encouragement. He told me that there is no need to feel bad about one and two failures and the most important thing is to learn anything from failure and never give up. Today is Father’s Day and I want to say thank you for my father.
