成功的重要因素英语短文【精品20篇】

People always say that we are lacking of the eyes of realizing the beauty in life. I cant agree with it anymore. Last week, I woke up very early in the morning, so I decided to take a walk. The street was very quiet and there were many old people dancing in the square. Without many cars, I realized the city looked so clean and beautiful. Some coffee shops decorates so well, which attrated my eyes. The city was coverd by the green trees, which made it a green city. I liked this feeling so much. At this moment, I found the city was so lovely, I just ingored its beauty usually.

人们总是说我们缺乏发现实现生活中的美丽的眼睛。我十分同意。上周,我早上很早就醒了,所以我决定出去散步。街上很安静,有很多老人在广场上跳舞。街上没有了很多小车,我意识到这个城市看起来那么干净和漂亮。一些咖啡店装修很好,吸引了我的眼球。这座城市被绿色的树木覆盖着,这是一个绿化放的城市。我很喜欢这种感觉。这时,我发现这个城市是如此的可爱,平常我忽略了它的美。

[初中英语作文100字

Success means different things for different people. Some may equate it

with money, some with work and still some with ohter. For me, it means

fulfilling ones dreams. Whatever your dreams are, you have a goal there and

then focus all your attention on it. Dreams bring you hope and happiness. May be

you cry, sweat, complain or even curse, but the joy of harvesting makes you

forget all the pains and troubles you have gone through. So an old proverb says

that the sweetest fruit is one that has undergone the bitterest ordeal.There are

several keys to success. First, your goal must be practical and practicable. If

you set your goal too high, maybe that you will never attain it. Next, you have

to make a plan of doing it. Since the dream is quite tough, you need to be hard,

Even if you meet with some difficulties, just take them in your stride. You can

always tell yourself that there is nothing about. With this will and

determination, success is sure to wait for you at the end of the tunnel!

To be or nor to be, that is a question. To succeed or to fail? How to

succeed and how to achieve? These problems confuse many teenagers in

nowadays.

We all have dreams, and we all work hard to realize them. But there will

always be some problems and setbacks to stop the pace of advance. When they

appear, what should we do? To stop or to go on? Mrs. Curie told us the answer.

We all know that Mrs. Curie discovered radium, but how many people really know

how hard she worked? At that time, there were many people disapprove of Mrs.

Curie. Although she got over hundreds of difficulties, she still believed in

herself and never gave up. Finally, she succeeded to discover radium. She proved

that she was right by her continuous hard work and her strong spirit. We should

learn from Mrs. Curie. She told us the truth through her own experiences that

believe in yourself, you can do it! Never give up, face the difficulties with a

smile, someday, you will be proud of yourself.

The key to success is confidence. It makes you brave, helps you get over

the troubles, and brings motivation to you. For example, somebody always get

nervous when they have an important speech, if they are in a nervous mood, the

results are always terrible. But if they are confident to themselves, the

results turn out to be better. Therefore, be confident, believe in yourself,

keep smile in your face when comes to difficulties, and you will achieve

more.

我以前总是认为，一个人取得成功的因素，主要是靠自己本身的聪明和运气，根本不用老师的教育和自身不断的努力。

一直到我学习了《方仲永》，我才知道自己原先想的是不对的。一个人取得成功的因素，主要是靠老师的教育和自己不断的努力，与自己的聪明和运气关系不大。

一个人如果没有学习的劲头和决心，即使你再怎么的聪明，也是不会成长的。例如，课本上的方仲永，你们看他多聪明啊!五岁的时候，就已经会作诗了，只要你指出事物让他作诗，他能立即做出诗来，他做出的诗非常的有道理。但是，后来有人为了让他作诗，就请他的父亲去做客，更有甚者，不惜用金钱买方仲永做出的诗。方仲永的父亲认为这样有利可图，就不让他学习了，方仲永到了十二三岁的时候，他作出来的诗已经大不如前，他之所以最终没有成才，是因为他没有受到后天的教育。

一个人取得成功的因素，还要靠自己不断的努力。例如我国的文学之父——鲁迅，他刚开始的时候也并不是很聪明的，他之所以最终成为我国的文学之父，是因为他把别人喝咖啡的功夫用在了工作上。难怪他会成为我国的文学之父。

我现在知道了，要想取得成功，就一定要不怕困难，俗话说“不吃苦中苦，难为人上人。”还要有学习的决心和毅力。

今年运动会，我参加了两个50米，一个是团体的迎面接力赛，一个是个人的短跑。我也体会了两种与众不同的滋味：一个是成功，一个是失败。

开幕式当天下午，50米迎面接力赛热火朝天的开始了，我们班和1301班一组比赛。比赛刚一开始，1301班就比我们班快。“加油、加油、加油……”这样的叫喊声布满全场，比赛也随之进入高潮，突然，我们班一名同学掉棒了，这时，1班便趁此机会拉开两班距离。我是最后一棒，接到棒的那一刻，看着前面遥遥领先的对手，我心里的第一个念头就是：“死”定了。不过又想到万事皆有可能，说不定我还能反超呢？想到这，就不再多想了，撒开“马蹄子”飞奔了出去，我离1班的同学越来越近，2米、1米、反超了！这时我们班沸腾了，一班也沸腾了，加油的声音越来越热烈，一浪高过一浪，我不顾一切地冲向终点线。到终点线边，计时老师说：“第一名”“太棒了！”我心里说。

刚过线，我们班的同学们都冲了上来，抱着我抖呀抖，抖呀抖，而且都在喊：“太给力了，太棒了”。这场面一班看了想哭。

这就是成功带来的快乐、幸福、开心。

接下来一天发生的事情却让我意想不到。

上午的50米预赛，我在第五跑道，跑的时候串道了，但后来还是以第五名成绩有幸进入决赛，但下午的决赛让我记忆深刻。

到我们组了，我好紧张，万一再失误怎么办？不等我多想，这时，老师已经在喊了：“各就位，预备”，“嘭”，随着一声枪响，五名队员以闪电一般的速度冲了出去，迎面吹来的风从我耳边划过，我耳边那嗡嗡声如同成千上万只蜜蜂在齐鸣，尽管这样，从四面八方传来的源源不断的加油声我仍能听见，这时我再看向一边的对手，“太棒了，已经是第二名了，坚持住！”再看向前方，终点就在眼前，我冲了过去。“串道”，一边计时的汤老师说。“No”我大喊，可惜声音已经被淹没了。又串道了，本来第二名的，落到第五名！我哭了，“这不公平，计时的老师也都站在第五道终点处，串道不能全怪我”。我伤心了好久。

回到家爸爸妈妈安慰我：跑第几名不重要，串道后不能只找客观原因，多找找自己做的不对的地方，下次避免再犯同样错误。

这就是失败，这也是一次教训，它告诉你的道理永远不会忘记。

Directions : In this part, you are to write an essay on “Opportunity and Success “. You should write about 200 words within 40 minutes on ANSWER SHEET2. Your essay should be based on the following outline:

1. Contingency (偶然性) of opportunity

2. Relationship Between opportunity and success

3. My view on opportunity

Opportunities dont come often. They come every once in a while. Very often, they come quietly and go by without being noticed. Therefore, it is advisable that you should value and treat them with care.

When an opportunity presents itself, it brings a promise but never realizes it on its own. If you want to achieve something or intend to fulfill one of your ambitions you must work hard, make efforts and get prepared. Otherwise, you will take no advantage of opportunities when they come to visit you. It is clear that in order to be highly qualified for out future jobs, we should make every possible preparation.

The difference between a man who succeeds and one who does not lies only in the way each treats opportunities. The successful person always makes adequate preparations to meet opportunities as they duly arrive. The unsuccessful person, on the other hand, works little and just waits to see them pass by. Obviously, the two different attitudes towards opportunities may lead to quite different consequences.

In my opinion, there are plenty of opportunities for everyone in our society, in our society, but only those who are prepared adequately and qualified highly can make use of them to achieve their purpose.

机不可失，时不再来。 机遇常常悄然而去。因此，奉劝诸君珍惜机遇，谨慎处之。

每当机遇降临，伴之而来的是成功的希望， 但是机遇不能自行实现成功。假如你要取得成就或要实现你的雄心壮志，你必须努力工作、艰苦奋斗、准备好条件。否则，机遇来临时你却无法利用。显然，为了能够完全适应我们未来的工作，我们必须做好一切可能的准备。

成功者与失败者之间的区别就在于处理机遇的态度。成功者做好充分准备迎接机遇的适时来临，而失败者工作懒散，眼看着机遇悄然而过。可见，两种不同的对待机遇的态度导致了截然不同的后果。

我的观点时，在我们的社会里人人都有许多机遇，但是只有那些做好充分准备并且高度称职的人才能利用机遇达到自己目的。

I will finish my middle school life soon, before I graduate, I need to take part in a very important test and it will decide which high school I will be in. I am so nervous now, I want to do my best and go to the ideal high school. My mother told me yesterday that no matter how the result was, she would be happy for me. She did not want me to have too much pressure and she believed me I could do well. Thinking about my mother’s words, I am not nervous now, what’s more, all of my families support me so much. The result is not that important, happiness comes first.

我很快就要结束初中的生活了，在我毕业前，我需要参加一场很重要的考试，那就会决定我上哪所高中。我现在很紧张，我想要尽力做到最好，进入到理想的高中。妈妈昨天告诉我无论结果怎么样，她都会为我感到开心。她不想要我有太多的压力，她相信我能做得好。想到妈妈的话语，我现在不紧张了，而且，我所有的家人都很支持我。结果不是那么的重要，开心才是最重要的。

[初一英语作文：重要的考试

There are many characteristic exist in the world, and characteristic is

very important to people. For example, active, persistence, optimistic makes

people successful; lazy, passive makes people fail. Having a good characteristic

means you have the key to the successful door, but you have to find the way of

success. This is what I am going to talk about, the key to success:

persistence.

Persistence is a key to success, whether for a single person or an

organization. People who lack of it would mean failure in reaching a certain

goal. People need to know that success seldom comes easily on the first try;

they should have the patient to insist trying until they get the goal.

Unsuccessful people try something just a few times, and when it fails, they give

up; they usually pass the blame onto someone or something, and learn nothing

from their experience. Successful people are different, even they fail, and they

won’t lose their passion.

Let me take a famous person to example. His name is Da Vinci, he is known

as a great painter, artist. Everyone knows him, but I think there are not much

people known that how much effort did he made before he became a famous artist.

Da Vinci draw eggs everyday when he was young, hundreds and thousands times a

day. It is definite a boring work, many people could not bear to face an egg and

draw it in different angle thousands times. But Da Vinci did it, and he made it.

We could say it is not for his persistence that he would not get the great

aptitude for painting.

Talent is a gift from god, persistence is a key you’ve got, and effort

makes those working which bring you to open the door of success.

Failure is a common thing in one‘s life。 Almost everyone experiences failure in his life。 When one fails in his attempt in doing something， he often feels upset。 Some people may yield to failure and flinch from it。 But others will stick to and achieve the final success。

Success is what everyone expects。 It may lead to fame and glory。 When one suc ceeds in doing something， he gets so excited that he often neglects all the unsuccessful at tempts he has done。

As the old saying goes， "Failure teaches success。" It is true that failure is an impor tam factor toward success。 The way to success is full of various difficulties and obstacles。 Many important inventions or discoveries were achieved after hundreds of failure。 And only those successes which have been achieved after many failures are really valuable and praiseworthy。

在人的一生中失败是常事。几乎每个人在一生中都失败过。当一个人打算做某事失败时，他常常感到沮丧。有些人会屈服于失败而畏缩不前。而另外一个人却坚持不懈并取得最后成功。

成功是人人都期待的，成功可以使人成名、荣耀。当一个人在做某事时成功了，他是那么高兴以致常常忽略了他曾经做过的那些没有成功的事情。

正如俗话所说，“失败是成功之母。”失败是走向成功的重要因素，这是毫无疑问的。成功的道路上充满各种困难和障碍。许多重要的发明和发现是经过数百次失败才成功的。只有经过许多次失败后取得的成功才是真正有价值和值得称赞的。

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。

As a saying goes, success is equal to %99 sweat plus 1% inspiration. Its

true that if you want to succeed , you have to work hard.

As all of us know, a strong will, perseverance , confidence and diligence.

.. Are the essentials factors of success. Firstly I think man of strong will and

perseverance always has an aggressive spirit. He can stick to his cause no

matter how tough it might be. Secondly he should be full of confidence . He

shows no frustration and powerlessness in the face of difficulty, but with

confidence and strength soar he is ready to meet the next difficulty. So,

believe yourself and trust yourself is the most important thing. Find something

you really interest and trying to do it until then you will find everything is

so easy. Because you begin to take your first step, dont worry and keep

learning also dont give it up. Thirdly diligence plays an important role on the

way to our success. As the saying goes: "Diligence is the means by which one

makes up for ones dullness". And life is short and we have too much to do .

of the factors to ones success. There is an old saying: "Modesty helps one to

progress and

pride makes one leg behind. " Everyone has his own strong points of which

he may have too high an opinion. The important thing is to be modest and learn

from othersstrong points. A modest person never hesitates to consult those who

are inferior to him. For he understands that the range of knowledge is larger

.

In a word, a man who wants to be triumphant must have a strong will, be

confident, be diligent. As a saying goes: "no pains, no gains! "

TO Success: Opportunity or hard-working?

Every body wants to succeed. But when it comes to the question that which factor leads to success, opportunity or hard-work, different people will offer different answers.

Some people think that opportunity is the first factor leading to success. They hold the idea, as a proverb saying, “Man proposes, god disposes”. Because almost all successful people have good luck and have caught their valuable opportunities, they believe that opportunity is a leading condition of the success. If seizes and makes the best use of opportunity available, one can succeed surely. In summary, to them, chances and lucks play the most important role on the road to success.

However, others maintain that “no pains, no gains” .Without exerting oneself, one could never expect to achieve success in no matter what one is doing. As is known to all, there is no royal road to the summit of success. One is likely to succeed only when one has worked with whole-hearted devotion and perseverance. Those who are lazy, sloppy and indifferent to their work, those who never concentrate on work will definitely end in failure. On the whole, as far as they are concerned, hard-working is the decisive factor to success.

In my view, both hard work and opportunity eventually matters. They are inseparable from each other, and put together, they make a great success. Hard work is to luck what fish is to water, and can be seen as an interior precondition of success. It lays the corner-stone for building a house while luck serves to cement it, to make the building bricks adherent to one another. They are the twins that contribute to success together. They are the factors from within and without respectively. We must work hard, make efforts and get prepared. When opportunities come, meet and make full use of them. Only in this way can we succeed one day.

[以成功为题的英语作文

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 doesnt 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。

不仅小孩喜欢这个节日，连大人也喜欢。大人们会在画完妆后参加聚会。这可以给他们带来年轻的快感。你呢?你喜欢万圣节吗?

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."

Mrs. Li has left a very good first impression on us. She is a beautiful young lady, enthusiastic and energetic. Now we know that she is a really wonderful teacher. Not only does she explain everything clearly but also she is very patient with us. Besides, her class

is well organized and in class she always encourages us and avoids making us feel embarrassed even when we make mistakes, so every student is very active in the class discussing.

So far, Mrs. Li has been teaching us for only two weeks, but she has already been popular with all of the students in our class! With Mrs. Lis help, we have learnt a lot of new words, phrases and sentence patterns. I am sure that we are going to make great progress in English with Mrs Li teaching us.

The research went go so well, we finished it in two days, thanks to the teamwork, we did well on the task. The teacher praised my group, I have learned the importance of cooperation, since then, I will considerate other people’s feelings.
