The Way to Success
“Give me six hours to chop down a tree , and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe.”Abraham Lincoln once said.

emphasize the importance of full preparation too much in our pursuit of success. A full preparation enables us to achieve our objectives and realize our dreams more smoothly and rapidly.

As a thought-provoking saying goes, “The greatest use of life is to spend it on something that will outlast it.”we learn from the saying that, life is short and limited, to make the best use of our life we need to spend it on something which are meaningful and will last long.
Numerous examples can be found in history, just take a famous historian Chen Yinque as a case in point: he led an unfortunate and turbulent life. He even lost sight in one eye in his later years. However, he kept on compiling historical materials and compsoing works. His life was short, but he left precious and everlasting intellectual treasure for us. Example also exists in reality. Some scientists devote their whole life in the enterprise of scientific inquiry. They are not rich and their life is boring, they are little known and few people know their contribution. However, when
life ends, their achievement in scientific research will constantly benefit mankind and will never be forgotten by people！

参考译文：
一句发人深省的俗语说到：“人生的充分利用就是将时间花费在比人生更长久的东西上。

”很明显，人的生命是短暂而有限的。

要充分利用这有限的人生，我们就必须去做那些有意义而又能持续长久的事情。

历史上这样的例子有很多，仅仅以著名史学家陈寅恪为例：他的一生并不幸运，一直处在颠沛流离当中，到了晚年，甚至一只眼睛失明了。

然而他依旧全力整编历史材料，完成著作。

他的一生虽然短暂，却为我们留下了宝贵的、持久精神财富；现实生活中也有这样的例子：一些科学家将毕生生
命投注与科学探索事业。

他们并不富裕，生活也很单调，甚至无人知道他们的存在，也很少有人知道他们的贡献。

然而当他们的生命结束了，他们的科研成果却将一直造福人类，并永远为人们铭记！
确实，如果要充分利用我们的人生，我们就要去做那些有意义的事情。

就我而言，首先，我会充分利用自己的时间在学习上，掌握必要的知识和技能；其次，我也会设定远大的目标并期待能够为社会和人类做出贡献。
