英语美文：论成功
There are no secrets of success. Success is doing the things you know you should do. Success is not doing the things you know you should not do. 
Success is not limited to any one area of your life. It encompasses1 all of the facets2 of your relationships: as parent, as wife or husband, as citizen, neighbor, worker and all of the others。 
Success is not confined to any one part of your personality but is related to the development of all the parts: body, mind, heart, and spirit. It is making the most of your total self. 
Success is discovering your best talents, skills and abilities and applying3 them where they will make the most effective contribution to your fellow men. 
Success is focusing the full power of all you are on what you have a burning desire to achieve. 
Success is ninety-nine percent mental attitudes. It calls for love, joy, optimism, confidence, serenity4, poise, faith, courage, cheerfulness, imagination, initiative, tolerance, honesty, humility, patience, and enthusiasm. 
Success is not arriving at the summit of a mountain as a final destination. It is a continuing upward spiral5 of progress. It is a perpetual6 growth. 
Success is having the courage to meet failure without being defeated. It is refusing to let present loss interfere7 with your long-range goal. 
Success is accepting the challenge of the difficult. In the inspiring words of Phillips Brooks8:“Do not pray for tasks equal to your powers. Pray for powers equal to your tasks. Then the doing of your work shall be no miracle, but you shall be the miracle.” 

成功没有秘密。成功是做你知道你应该做的事情。成功不是做你知道不应该做的事
成功并不局限于你生活中的任何一个领域。它涵盖了你关系的所有方面：作为父母、妻子或丈夫、公民、邻居、工人和所有其他人
成功并不局限于你个性的任何一个部分，而是与身体、思想、心灵和精神等所有部分的发展有关。它是充分利用你的自我。
成功是发现你最优秀的才能、技能和能力，并将它们应用到对你的同伴做出最有效贡献的地方。
成功是把你所有的力量都集中在你渴望实现的目标上。
成功是99%的心理态度。它要求爱、快乐、乐观、自信、宁静、沉着、信念、勇气、快乐、想象力、主动性、宽容、诚实、谦逊、耐心和热情。
成功不是作为最终目的地到达顶峰。这是一个不断上升的进步。这是一种永恒的增长。
成功就是有勇气面对失败而不被击败。它拒绝让目前的损失干扰你的远射目标。
成功就是接受困难的挑战。用Phillips Brooks 8鼓舞人心的话来说：“不要为与你能力相等的任务祈祷。为与你任务相等的能力祈祷。那么你的工作就不会是奇迹，但你就是奇迹。”
