关于成功的英语作文(高中英语作文)

什么是成功 What is Success?

What is the definition of success? I believe different people will have different opinions about it. If anyone asks me what is success for me, I will tell him progress is success for me. I can have small goal or great aim in my whole life. If the goal what I set is too large for me, I will not taste the feeling of success. Or I always set small goals, so I will feel success all the time, which may make me become autophilia and without ambitions. Therefore, I think if I can be better than yesterday or last time, then I am successful.

成功的定义是什么?我相信不同的人会有不同的看法。如果有人问我对我来说成功是什么，我会告诉他进步就是成功。在我的一生中我可以设定很多小的或者大的目标。

如果我定的目标对我来说太大了，我就尝不到成功的滋味。或者我设的目标太小了，这样我一直都会处于成功中，这也许会使我变得自恋没有雄心壮志。因此，我觉得要是我能够比昨天或者上一次好，这样我就算成功了。

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."

成功的关键

Everyone gets the itch to succeed, but only part of them can make their dreams come true. You maybe wonder: what is the key to success? The answer is “To keep the desire to learn”.

Keep the desire to learn, and you will never be satisfied with what you have known. Always keep a curious mind to all the mysterious parts of the world. Keep the desire to learn, and whatever difficulties you face, the strong belief will support you in solving the problems. Keep the desire to learn, just as Ms Curie puts it: “Nothing in the world is to be feared, it is only to be understand.” So everything is possible if we try our best and never give up.

One who does not have the desire to learn will never reach their goals. They are always shortsighted and are easily be satisfied with the very little thing they have known. In fact, knowledge, just like the ocean, never has a rim. Whenever and wherever you are,

you should remember: what you are learning is only the surface.

In a word, always keep the desire to learn, and the door of success will open to you one day.

助你成功的性格 The Personality Characteristics That Make You Successful

When we talk about those famous people, we all like to know how they succeed. Meanwhile we all admire their personal special virtues which lead them to triumph. And it is obvious that many successful people have some personality characteristics in common. As far as I concerned, I deem that persistence, prudence, confidence and courage are the most important.

当我们在谈论那些名人的时候，我们都想知道他们是如何取得成功的。同时我们都很钦佩引导他们走向胜利的

特别的个人美德。很明显，许多成功的人都有一些共同的个性。就我而言，我认为毅力，谨慎，自信和勇气是最重要的。

Firstly, I think persistence should come first before the other three personality characters. As we all know that a person cannot always successfully reach his aim at his first try, there are many barriers waiting for him. Therefore the person will fail many times before he gets his victory. If he doesn't persist in trying again and again and make a breakthrough, thus he will stay still, no progress. He may not move forward or even regress. A person without the personal character of persistence can’t finally succeed in getting his goal.

首先，我认为毅力要比其他三个个性都要重要。总所周知，人不可能总是在第一次尝试的时候就成功地达到自己的目标，肯定会有很多阻碍等着他。因此，人们会在多次失败后才会取得胜利。如果他没有坚持不断地努力和突破，他将会保持静止状态，没有进步。他不可能前进甚至是倒退。一个没有毅力的人不能取得最终的成功。

Secondly, a man who wants to be successful should also own the characteristic of prudence. The inventor of the electric bulb gives a good example for explaining that. It is said that the inventor tried to use thousands kinds of metal to make electric bulb filament in order to find the most suitable metal which can let the lamp light longer and brighter. I suppose that without the very prudential work, the inventor could not triumph in the end. A self- made

man should do his jobs with prudence, sometimes even should be careful doing a very trivial thing. Like when those scientists or mathematicians are dealing with a complex matter, if they make a small mistake, the efforts which they made before will be in vain. Accordingly, cautiousness is necessary.

其次，一个人想要取得成功的人还应该有谨慎的性格。电灯的发明者就为解释这一点提供了一个很好的例子。据说，发明者试图用几千种金属来找到最合适的的金属做电灯泡灯丝使得灯的寿命更长、更亮。我觉得如果发明者不是非常谨慎工作，他不可能在最后取得胜利。一个靠自己努力而成功的人应该是谨慎地工作，有时连一些很琐碎的事情甚至都要小心。就像当那些科学家和数学家正在处理一个复杂的问题时，如果他们犯了一丁点的错误，他们之前的努力都将是徒劳的。因此，谨慎是很有必要的。

In addition, the self- made men all are self-confident and courageous. As the saying goes, “fortune never helps the man whose courage has failed.” Supposed that a soldier loses his confidence and gallantry to fight when he is in the field of the battle, I am sure that he does not have the fortune to survive successfully. Therefore people who want to achieve their goals in their work all should be self-confident and courageous.

此外，一个靠自己努力而取得成功的人都是有自信和勇气的。俗话说，“运气永远不会帮助没有勇气的人。”假如一个失去了信心和勇气的士兵仍然在战场上战斗，我敢肯定他不会有幸存下来的运气。因此，想要实现自己在工作上的目标的人应该是要有自信和勇气的。

In a word, my view regarding those famous people’s success is that they persist in working hard, do their jobs with prudence, are confident in themselves and have courage to overcome any kinds of difficulties; it is the reason that they can make themselves into a celebrity and admired by others.

总之，我对于名人成功的看法是，他们坚持努力工作，谨慎，对自己有信心，有克服任何困难的勇气。这就是他们之所以成为名人并受人敬仰的原因。
