There Are No Secrets of Success
维尔布德·彼得森 / Wilferd Perterson
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 encompasses all of the facets 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 applying 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 attitude. It calls for love, joy, optimism, confidence, serenity, 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 spiral of progress. It is a perpetual growth.
Success is having the courage to meet failure without being defeated. It is refusing to let present loss interfere with your long-range goal.
Success is accepting the challenge of the difficult. In the inspiring words of Phillips Brooks, “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.”
成功毫无秘诀可言。成功是清楚地知道自己该做与不该做的事。
成功不局限于生命的某一个领域。不论是为人父母、妻子、丈夫，还是公民、邻居、工人等，人际关系的层层面面都包含成功。
成功突破了人格的特定部分，关系着人格的健全发展——身体、思想、心灵以及精神，是一个自我完善的过程。
成功是才智的极致发挥，是技艺的最大提高，是能力的最佳锻炼，也是对人类作出的最有效的贡献。
成功是全身心地、尽其所能地为实现目标而努力。
成功的99%取决于态度。它需要爱、欢乐、乐观、自信、沉着、镇定、信赖、勇气、开朗、想象力、进取心、宽容、坦诚、谦逊、毅力及热忱。
成功不以抵达成功之巅为终极目标。它呈一种螺旋式上升，是人类自身不断完善的过程。
成功敢于直面失败，无惧挫折，它不会因眼前的失败而受到困扰，进而影响到长期目标的实现。
成功是接受困难的挑战。菲利普·布鲁克斯有句激励人心的话语：“不要期望工作适合你的能力，而要期望自己的能力适应工作。那样，你的工作不会成为奇迹，而你会是个奇迹。”
