Assignment 2: My road to success

Talking
about success, the first question that jump into my mind is the definition of
success. As for me, success cannot only be defined by wealth and reputation. It
is a satisfying life that one finally achieves through a long period of
hardworking.
From my perspective, the road to success can
be divided into three steps: finding, striving and keeping.
I think that the first thing to do to achieve
one’s goal is to aim a correct destination. Otherwise, it is too easy to lose
one’s way. And only within the right destination can we try to find a shortcut
to it. Here I would like to mention my favorite film director, Luc Besson,
seldom do people know that he dreamed of being sailors when he was a little
boy. However, an unexpected accident happened. Luckily, he wasn’t knocked down,
instead of a farfetched dream, he found his real destination.
Setting
up a right destination may not be easy. We should consider both our interests
and ability. As for me, I love stories and would love to take up movies as my
career.
After
finding our destinations, the next step is to strive. This can be the toughest process
on the road to success. ‘Great works are performed not by strength，but by perseverance.’And there
are endless example that we can find from famous people. Even the father of
music, Bach, was not accepted by the audience when he first found the
well-tempered theory.
The
worst thing isn’t failure itself, but whether we can stand up again if we fell
down sometime. I know that the way to the film world can be tougher than I ever
imagined. However, I hope that I can have the courage to accept frustrations.
If
we are lucky enough to finish the first two steps, we can come to the last step
of keeping. From my point of view, it is something about our attitude. There is
an old saying, ‘Content is happiness’. That is the reason why I think we
should have a humble attitude and a peaceful mood when we arrive at our destination
of success.
Yes, I agree with you. Success isn't something that will come suddenly. It is a step-by-step process. One more thing I want to add. The people who are success, they will be humble. If a people is not humble, he will be defeat even he had reached the peak for once. Hope you can find your right way for being success.
回复删除We share the same idea on such kind of core values, like "success cannot only be defined by wealth and reputation" and "It is a satisfying life that one finally achieves through a long period of hardworking." But the the only opinion I may not agree with you is that to me I think the hardest step should be keeping. It's not only about our attitude but also a long-term efforts to keep ourselves stay at the level we scarcely get. Anyway, I believe you will reach your own way to success.
