Kick Your Way To Success

No man in the world does not desire success. Actually every path to success starts with a great idea. There’s only one problem: good ideas are everywhere. When successful, what really matters is not having an idea, but having the courage to make it a reality. This usually means losing the sense of security of a normal job and the risk of getting a steady salary.

Even with a great idea and the courage to pursue it, your efforts will be worthless unless you are willing to take massive action. Write down your goals and the action steps you will take to pursue those goals. 【1】 Share it with others, so they will hold you accountable for achieving your plan. Make yourself responsible and master of your destiny.

Without passion, even the greatest vision will become weaker. Without passion, your energy and enthusiasm will flag when you meet with inevitable obstacles. 【2】

It’s the force allowing you to devote every moment of your workday to bring you closer to the success you are eager to.

Once you’ve made a decision, doubt is a worm that eats away at your ability to succeed. Life and work can be hard and even cruel. Remember, the race is not for the swift but rather those who persevere. Rather than allowing doubt to affect your progress, you should be confident in your vision and plan. 【3】

The old sayings of “no one is an island” and “there is a powerful man” may sound a bit old, but they don’t make them unreal. 【4】 Meeting regularly can be positive and provide new perspectives on your approach. The Internet makes it very easy to find a coach, an instructor, or a planning group that can provide the emotional support, experience, and wisdom to help turn your vision into reality.

A. Make your passion a physical trait of your personality.

B. Post your vision and plan in your bedroom, bathroom, office.

C. However, taking the easy way of dishonesty has a tendency to sneak back up on you.

D. In the process, adapt to your needs, but know that success will ultimately be yours.

E. Even with self-discipline, in the long run, you’ll need contact with spiritual leaders.

F. In the end, it causes far more problems than taking the risk of telling the truth.

【解析】

本文是一篇說明文，介紹了如何踏上成功之路的幾點建議。

【1】空前說用你的方式寫下你的目標和你將采取的行動步驟來追求這些目標，此處承接上文，講的是寫完這些后接下來的做法，故B項（在你的臥室、浴室、辦公室張貼你的愿景和計劃）符合語境。

【2】本段講的就是激情的重要性，此處總結(jié)上文，講的是一定要有激情，故A項（讓你的激情成為你個性的一個身體特征）符合語境。

【3】空前說與其讓懷疑影響你的進步，你應該對你的愿景和計劃充滿信心，此處承接上文，講的還是關于自信這個話題，故D項（在這個過程中，要適應你的需要，但要知道成功最終會屬于你）符合語境。

【4】空后說互聯(lián)網(wǎng)讓你很容易就能找到一個教練，一個指導員，或一個規(guī)劃小組，他們可以提供情感上的支持，經(jīng)驗和智慧，幫助你把夢想變成現(xiàn)實，這是對空處的舉例說明，因此此處是說要多與能在精神上給你支持的人接觸，故E項（即使你自律，從長遠來看，你也需要與精神領袖接觸）符合語境。
