B. Key Factors to Success
Everyone wishes to be successful in life. I think there are three fundamental principles: diligence, devotion, and perseverance.
The first key factor to success is diligence, which simply means no waste of time. Diligence can help us remove ignorance, overcome difficulties. Diligence can make a fool wise, and a poor man rich. If we idle away our time now, our future will be a failure. If we are diligent now, we will surely be successful in the future.
Devotion, which means concentration of our mind and effort in doing things, is another key factor to success. Whatever job we are doing we must love it and do it wholeheartedly. Only when we give our mind to the job, can we do it well.
Furthermore, perseverance, or a strong will, is also very necessary. If we work hard day after day, there is nothing that can not be achieved. Without a strong will, on the other hand, we are likely to give up when we meet some difficulties. In short, a strong will can urge a person to perform wonderful deeds.
To conclude, all GREat men achieve success through diligence, devotion and perseverance. Just as the famous English proverb says,“No pains, no gains.”.
