如何做一个成功人士？

Do you want to be a successful person? Would you like to know how successful people usually think and what drives them? Here I am going to tell you the key to success that successful people share.

你想做一个成功人士吗？你想知道成功人士是怎么想的吗？又是什么力量在驱使着他们呢？下面我想告诉你成功人士所共有的成功秘诀。

First of all, successful people never blame someone or something outside of themselves for their failure to move ahead. They realize that their future lies in their own hands. They understand that they can’t control things in life, such as nature, the past and other people. At the same time, they are well aware that they can control their own thoughts and actions. They take responsibility for their life.

首先，成功人士不会因为自己前进道路上的失败而责怪外界的人和事。他们明白自己的未来掌握在自己手中。他们知道生活中有的事情是自己不能控制的，比如说大自然、过去和别人。与此同时，他们还清楚地意识到他们能够控制自己的思想和行为。他们可以对自己的人生负责。

Perhaps what most separates successful people from others is that they live life “on purpose”—they are doing what they believe they are put here to do. In their opinion, having a purpose in their life is the most important element that enables them to deal with things around them. They hold the view that when they live their life “on purpose”, their main concern is to do the job right. They live what they do. People want to do business with them because their commitment. To live their life “on purpose”, successful people find a cause they believe in and create a business around it.

也许成功人士和其他人最大的区别在于：他们有生活目标！他们正在做他们认为来到这个世界上自己应该做的事情。他们认为，过有目标的生活是使得他们能够处理周围一切事情的最重要的因素。他们认为生活中有了目标，他们的注意力就会集中在做正确的事情上。他们不会偏离自己的人生方向。同时，人们也喜欢和他们共事，因为他们信守承诺，敢于担当。要想过有目标的生活，成功人士首先找到一项他们信奉的事业，然后围绕这一事业开展自己的工作。

Besides, they never give up easily. Once they set up goals in their life, they are willing to do whatever it takes to achieve their goals. To achievers always bear in mind what they don’t have forever. Rather than see this as negative or depressing, they would use the knowledge to spur themselves on and go after what they want energetically and passionately.

除此之外，成功人士永远不会轻易放弃。一旦他们树立人生目标，就愿意去付出一切辛劳。对于追求者来说，时刻牢记自己还没有拥有的东西，他们不是把这看做是消极和悲观，而是用知识去激励自己前行，并且精力充沛、满怀激情地去追求自己想要的东西。

So keep in mind what successful people always hold to be true so that you will have a clear idea of what you should do to be successful in life.

所以要时刻牢记成功人士的人生信条，以便你能清楚地知道要想拥有成功的人生自己应该做些什么。
