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.

　　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.

　　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.

　　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.

　　參考譯文：

　　當(dāng)我們在談?wù)撃切┟说臅r(shí)候，我們都想知道他們是如何取得成功的。同時(shí)我們都很欽佩引導(dǎo)他們走向勝利的特別的個人美德。很明顯，許多成功的人都有一些共同的個性。就我而言，我認(rèn)為毅力，謹(jǐn)慎，自信和勇氣是最重要的。

　　首先，我認(rèn)為毅力要比其他三個個性都要重要?？偹苤?，人不可能總是在第一次嘗試的時(shí)候就成功地達(dá)到自己的目標(biāo)，肯定會有很多阻礙等著他。因此，人們會在多次失敗后才會取得勝利。如果他沒有堅(jiān)持不斷地努力和突破，他將會保持靜止?fàn)顟B(tài)，沒有進(jìn)步。他不可能前進(jìn)甚至是倒退。一個沒有毅力的人不能取得最終的成功。

　　其次，一個人想要取得成功的人還應(yīng)該有謹(jǐn)慎的性格。電燈的發(fā)明者就為解釋這一點(diǎn)提供了一個很好的例子。據(jù)說，發(fā)明者試圖用幾千種金屬來找到最合適的的金屬做電燈泡燈絲使得燈的壽命更長、更亮。我覺得如果發(fā)明者不是非常謹(jǐn)慎工作，他不可能在最后取得勝利。一個靠自己努力而成功的人應(yīng)該是謹(jǐn)慎地工作，有時(shí)連一些很瑣碎的事情甚至都要小心。就像當(dāng)那些科學(xué)家和數(shù)學(xué)家正在處理一個復(fù)雜的問題時(shí)，如果他們犯了一丁點(diǎn)的錯誤，他們之前的努力都將是徒勞的。因此，謹(jǐn)慎是很有必要的。

　　此外，一個靠自己努力而取得成功的人都是有自信和勇氣的。俗話說，"運(yùn)氣永遠(yuǎn)不會幫助沒有勇氣的人。"假如一個失去了信心和勇氣的士兵仍然在戰(zhàn)場上戰(zhàn)斗，我敢肯定他不會有幸存下來的運(yùn)氣。因此，想要實(shí)現(xiàn)自己在工作上的目標(biāo)的人應(yīng)該是要有自信和勇氣的。

　　總之，我對于名人成功的看法是，他們堅(jiān)持努力工作，謹(jǐn)慎，對自己有信心，有克服任何困難的勇氣。這就是他們之所以成為名人并受人敬仰的原因。
