The Personality Characteristics That Make You Successful

Whenwe talk about those famous people, we all like to know how they succeed.Meanwhile we all admire their personal special virtues which lead them totriumph. And it is obvious that many successful people have some personalitycharacteristics in common. As far as I concerned, I deem that persistence,prudence, confidence and courage are the most important.
當(dāng)我們?cè)谡務(wù)撃切┟�人的時(shí)候，我們都想知道他們是如何取得成功的。同時(shí)我們都很欽佩引導(dǎo)他們走向勝利的特別的個(gè)人美德。很明顯，許多成功的人都有一些共同的個(gè)性。就我而言，我認(rèn)為毅力，謹(jǐn)慎，自信和勇氣是最重要的。

Firstly,I think persistence should come first before the other three personalitycharacters. As we all know that a person cannot always successfully reach hisaim at his first try, there are many barriers waiting for him. Therefore theperson will fail many times before he gets his victory. If he doesn't persistin trying again and again and make a breakthrough, thus he will stay still, noprogress. He may not move forward or even regress. A person without thepersonal character of persistence can’t finally succeed in getting his goal.
首先，我認(rèn)為毅力要比其他三個(gè)個(gè)性都要重要�？偹�周知，人不可能總是在第一次嘗試的時(shí)候就成功地達(dá)到自己的目標(biāo)，肯定會(huì)有很多阻礙等著他。因此，人們會(huì)在多次失敗后才會(huì)取得勝利。如果他沒(méi)有堅(jiān)持不斷地努力和突破，他將會(huì)保持靜止?fàn)顟B(tài)，沒(méi)有進(jìn)步。他不可能前進(jìn)甚至是倒退。一個(gè)沒(méi)有毅力的人不能取得最終的成功。

Secondly,a man who wants to be successful should also own the characteristic ofprudence. The inventor of the electric bulb gives a good example for explainingthat. It is said that the inventor tried to use thousands kinds of metal tomake electric bulb filament in order to find the most suitable metal which canlet the lamp light longer and brighter. I suppose that without the veryprudential work, the inventor could not triumph in the end. A self- made manshould do his jobs with prudence, sometimes even should be careful doing a verytrivial thing. Like when those scientists or mathematicians are dealing with acomplex matter, if they make a small mistake, the efforts which they madebefore will be in vain. Accordingly, cautiousness is necessary.
其次，一個(gè)人想要取得成功的人還應(yīng)該有謹(jǐn)慎的性格。電燈的發(fā)明者就為解釋這一點(diǎn)提供了一個(gè)很好的例子。據(jù)說(shuō)，發(fā)明者試圖用幾千種金屬來(lái)找到最合適的的金屬做電燈泡燈絲使得燈的壽命更長(zhǎng)、更亮。我覺(jué)得如果發(fā)明者不是非常謹(jǐn)慎工作，他不可能在最后取得勝利。一個(gè)靠自己努力而成功的人應(yīng)該是謹(jǐn)慎地工作，有時(shí)連一些很瑣碎的事情甚至都要小心。就像當(dāng)那些科學(xué)家和數(shù)學(xué)家正在處理一個(gè)復(fù)雜的問(wèn)題時(shí)，如果他們犯了一丁點(diǎn)的錯(cuò)誤，他們之前的努力都將是徒勞的。因此，謹(jǐn)慎是很有必要的。

Inaddition, the self- made men all are self-confident and courageous. As thesaying goes, “fortune never helps the man whose courage has failed.” Supposedthat a soldier loses his confidence and gallantry to fight when he is in thefield of the battle, I am sure that he does not have the fortune to survivesuccessfully. Therefore people who want to achieve their goals in their workall should be self-confident and courageous.
此外，一個(gè)靠自己努力而取得成功的人都是有自信和勇氣的。俗話(huà)說(shuō)，“運(yùn)氣永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)幫助沒(méi)有勇氣的人。”假如一個(gè)失去了信心和勇氣的士兵仍然在戰(zhàn)場(chǎng)上戰(zhàn)斗，我敢肯定他不會(huì)有幸存下來(lái)的運(yùn)氣。因此，想要實(shí)現(xiàn)自己在工作上的目標(biāo)的人應(yīng)該是要有自信和勇氣的。

Ina word, my view regarding those famous people’s success is that they persist inworking hard, do their jobs with prudence, are confident in themselves and havecourage to overcome any kinds of difficulties; it is the reason that they canmake themselves into a celebrity and admired by others.
總之，我對(duì)于名人成功的看法是，他們堅(jiān)持努力工作，謹(jǐn)慎，對(duì)自己有信心，有克服任何困難的勇氣。這就是他們之所以成為名人并受人敬仰的原因。
