C
Each of us has dreams and goals for the future. What makes us study and make progress each day is closely connected with our personal dreams and goals.
But why do you still end up with nothing even if you have dreams and goals? What separates successful people from the dreamers is their persistent (锲而不舍的) action. When you learn at school, you must work hard. You may find some of your lessons very hard. Don’t give up. Try and keep trying, and you’ll be sure to successfully deal with any difficulty you meet with. If you have a hard lesson today, try your best to learn it well and then you will be prepared for a harder one tomorrow.
This is the famous formula (公式) for success: Dream ＞ Believe ＞ Achieve.
Most people have what they want (Dream) and think they can realize their dreams (Believe). And then they do nothing. They just imagine their dreams can come true. When they get tired of waiting and lose a lot, they get bored. They say angrily how terrible their life is.
I personally believe that if you really want to achieve your dreams and goals in life, you have to add one thing to your success formula: Dream ＞ Believe ＞ Act ＞ Achieve.
For me, act is the most important thing for success. If you say “I can’t do it!” and give up, you will never do anything valuable. However, “I’ll try!” creates wonders. Let’s remember that there will be obstacles in our life. We must face them bravely and solve them. Success is not something that falls down from the sky. Most successful people made their dreams come true because of their persistent action.
Please remember that action is the bridge that connects our dreams and goals to reality.
