大學(xué)英語作文我對成功的看法篇1:成功之我見(My Definition of Success)
“Once upon a time, there was a king who had a daughter as beautiful as a blooming rose. To all the suitors who came to the king's palace to ask for the hand of the princess, the old king assigned three tasks to be accomplished, each next to impossible. One day, into the king's palace came a handsome young prince..." Well, you know the rest. The three tasks may be different in different versions, but the main plot is always the same, with the prince claiming the princess's hand triumphantly.
And the ending is always the same, finishing with the line "And they live happily every after."
Why aren't we tired of something so fanciful, so unrealistic, and, I would say, so unimaginative? How can a story like that endure generations of repetition`? Because, I think, it is a typical success story. It is highly philosophical and symbolic. By implication, we see a 4-step definition of success: 1 ) a goal to be set. as represented by the beautiful princess; 2 ) challenges to be met, as represented by the three tasks; 3 ) the process of surmounting difficulties, as represented by the ordeals the youth goes through; and 4 ) the reward of success, as represented by the happy marriage.
The story not only caters to everyone's inward yearning for success, but also emphasizes the inseparability of the process and the result. The reward of success will be much amplified if the path leading towards it is treacherous, and vice versa. If a person inherits his father's millions and leads an easy life, he is not a successful person even in material terms, because there are no difficulties involved in his achieving affluence. The term "success", to be sure. will not sit still for easy definition. But as I understand it, the true meaning of success entails a combination of both the process and the satisfactory result of an endeavor. To clarify my view, let me give another analogy.
If we changed the rules of football, greatly enlarged the goal and sent away David Seaman or any other goal keeper, so that another David, namely David Beckham, could score easily, then scoring would not give him the thrill of accomplishment and the joy that it brings. If we further changed the rules by not allowing Arsenal's defenders to defend, so that Beckham needed only to lift a finger, actually a toe, to score, then there would be no game at all, because the meaning of winning would have disappeared. In accepting the challenge, in surmounting the difficulties and in enduring the hardship, success acquires its value. The sense of attainment varies in proportion to the degree of difficulties on overcomes.
The concept of success is not constant but relative because the nature of difficulty is also relative. Something you do effortlessly might pose a great difficulty for a handicapped person. In acquiring the ability to do the same as you can, he or she achieve success. That's why we greatly admire Stephen Hawking, because, though confined to a wheel chair, he has contributed greatly to the field of science.
I myself, a rather shy person by nature who easily suffer from stage fright, had to pluck up great courage to take part in a speech contest like this. I could have stayed away and had an easy time of it by not entering the university level contest.But I chose to accept the challenge and to face the difficulties. Now here I am. If I come out first, it will be a great success for me. If I come out last-I hope this will not be the case-but if I come out last, I will not call my attempt a failure, but will also celebrate it as a true success, because part of my goal is my own character training-to do more assertive, to be brave in face of difficulties. For me, it is a meaningful step forward, small as it is, in the long journey toward the final success in my life, because I have truly gained by participating.
Let us return to our handsome young prince and the 4-step definition of success. You my have noticed that the usual worldly criteria of wealth, position and fame were not mentioned as part of the story, but rather, it emphasized the process of overcoming difficulties. The ancient wisdom had already defined the meaning of success, and this is my definition, too.
成功之我見
“很久以前,有個(gè)國王,他的女兒貌美如花。老國王向所有來求婚的男士提出了三個(gè)任務(wù)作為挑戰(zhàn),而每一項(xiàng)任務(wù)都異常艱巨,幾乎不可能完成。一天,來了一位年輕英俊的王子……”好了,下面的故事你們都知道了。三項(xiàng)任務(wù)在不同的版本中各不相同,但關(guān)鍵部分的情節(jié)都如出一轍:王子成功地過關(guān),得到了公主的芳心。而故事的結(jié)局也都一樣,最后一句都寫道:“從此他們幸福地生活在一起。
為什么我們對如此美妙、如此不切實(shí)際,而我要說,如此缺乏想象力的東西這么樂此不疲呢?這樣的故事又如何能夠經(jīng)歷幾代人的重復(fù)?我想,因?yàn)樗堑湫偷某晒Φ睦?。故事的思想性很?qiáng),具有代表性。通過故事帶給我們的啟示,我們認(rèn)識到了成功定義中的四個(gè)步驟;第一,目標(biāo)的設(shè)定,有如故事里美麗的公主;第二,所遇到的困難和挑戰(zhàn),就像三大任務(wù);第三,克服困難的過程,故事中青年經(jīng)歷重重難關(guān)可以作為象征;第四,就是成功的果實(shí),如同幸福的婚姻。
這個(gè)故事不僅迎合了人們內(nèi)心深處對成功的向往,也強(qiáng)調(diào)了過程和結(jié)果的不可分離。如果通往成功的道路崎嶇曲折,那么成功的回報(bào)必然碩果累累,反之亦然。如果一個(gè)人繼承了父輩的百萬家產(chǎn)而生活得輕松富足,那么,即使在物質(zhì)上,他也不能算是個(gè)成功人士,因?yàn)?他的財(cái)富并沒有經(jīng)過艱難困苦而獲得。確切地說,“成功”這個(gè)詞,不是個(gè)靜態(tài)簡單的定義。在我的理解中,真正意義上的成功是奮斗的過程和經(jīng)歷了奮斗之后贏得的滿意的結(jié)果。請讓我另舉一例來闡明我的見解。
如果我們試著改變足球的比賽規(guī)則,將球門放得很大,換下大衛(wèi)·希曼或其他任何的守門員,這樣,隨便哪個(gè)“大衛(wèi)”,比如說,“大衛(wèi)·貝克漢姆”,就可以輕松進(jìn)球,然而這樣進(jìn)一球卻不能給他帶來成功的震顫與喜悅。如果我們再改一改比賽規(guī)則,不讓阿森納隊(duì)的防守來守門,那么,貝克漢姆只要?jiǎng)觿?dòng)手,其實(shí)就是抬抬腳就能進(jìn)一球,那樣的話、,實(shí)際上也沒有什么比賽可言了,因?yàn)橼A球的意義已經(jīng)不存在了。在接受挑戰(zhàn)、克服困難和經(jīng)歷磨難的過程中,“成功”的價(jià)值才得以豐滿。取得成果的意義和所克服的艱難的程度成正比。所謂成功的概念不是一成不變的.而曇相對而言的,因?yàn)槔щy的性質(zhì)也是相對意義上的。
正常人不費(fèi)力氣做成的事對于一個(gè)殘疾人來說也許相當(dāng)困難。獲得了同正常人一樣的能力,這個(gè)殘疾人就獲得了成功。這便是我們?yōu)槭裁闯缇词返俜?middot;霍金的原因—雖然行動(dòng)不便,受到了輪椅的限制,他依然為科學(xué)界作出了巨大的貢獻(xiàn)。
就我自己而言,生性羞澀,容易怯場,不得不鼓起非常大的勇氣來參加此次的演講比賽。我完全可以待在一邊,不參加大學(xué)級別的比賽,而落得輕松自在??墒?我還是選擇了接受這一挑戰(zhàn)來面對困難?,F(xiàn)在我來了,如果我能夠得第一的話.這對我來說就是巨大的成功。如果,我是最后一名—我希望情況不是這樣—但如果我真的是最后一名,我也不會認(rèn)為這次的嘗試是一次失敗,反而我要把它當(dāng)作一次真正的成功來慶賀,因?yàn)槲乙徊糠值哪繕?biāo)是對自己性格的鍛煉—更加堅(jiān)強(qiáng)、勇敢地面對困難。對我來說,這標(biāo)志著我在通向成功人生的漫漫征途中又向前邁進(jìn)了一步,盡管是很小的一步,但是我確實(shí)通過參與真正地獲得了收益。
回到我們年輕英俊的王子和對“成功”的四步驟定義上吧,您也許已經(jīng)注意到了財(cái)富、地位和名譽(yù)等這些世俗的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)在故事中并未提及,相反故事強(qiáng)調(diào)了克服重重困難的過程。古代的智慧已經(jīng)對成功的意義下了定義,這也是我的定義。
大學(xué)英語作文我對成功的看法篇2:關(guān)于成功的建議 Some Advices about Success
I have somegood advice for your work. If you can do the following things, you will succeedin doing everything.
我對你的工作有一些好的建議。如果你能做到以下的幾點(diǎn),你做什么事情都會成功。
Firstly,whatever you do, you must be punctual and hard-working. If you sow a good seed,you will get a good harvest. If the seed is in poor quality, the harvest willalso be very bad. And if you sow nothing, you will get nothing at all. Nothing.
首先,無論你做什么,你必須要守時(shí)和勤奮。如果你種下良好的種子,你會有一個(gè)好的收獲。如果種子的質(zhì)量不好,收獲也將會是不樂觀的。如果你沒有耕耘,你將什么都得不到。什么都沒有。
Secondly, youmust be honest. As honesty is the moral tuition that everyone should have. If youtreat other people friendly and sincerely, others will also respect you.
其次,你必須誠實(shí)。因?yàn)檎\信是每個(gè)人都應(yīng)該有的道德教育。如果你對其他人友好、真誠,別人也會尊重你。
Thirdly, youmust be tolerant to others, since no one is perfect in the world. Everyone hashis own faults, but if you can see everything on other person's perspective,there will be no problem at all.
第三,你必須對別人寬容,因?yàn)樵谶@個(gè)世界上沒有人是完美的。每個(gè)人都有他自己的缺點(diǎn),但如果你能換位思考,什么問題都不會有。
What's more,when you are in a big company, you should not only respect the leaders, butalso get on well with the colleagues. Sometimes, you should try to please yourboss, so that you could have more chances to be promoted.
更重要的是,當(dāng)你在一家大公司里面時(shí),你不僅要尊重領(lǐng)導(dǎo),也要與同事相處好。有時(shí),你應(yīng)該取悅你的老板,這樣你就可以有更多晉升的機(jī)會。
Last but notthe least, don't ignore the little things, because such a little thing willhave a great effect on your life. So you should start yourselves at the bottom,in order to get enough working experience. As you have enough workingexperience, nothing you will be afraid.
最后但并非最不重要的,不可忽視小事,因?yàn)檫@樣的小事對你的生活也會有很大的影響。所以為了獲得足夠的工作經(jīng)驗(yàn),你應(yīng)該從基層做起。當(dāng)你有足夠的工作經(jīng)驗(yàn)時(shí),你就什么都不會害怕了。
大學(xué)英語作文我對成功的看法篇3:我對成功的看法
It is easy to describe success in terms of money, fame and reputation. But I believe that success is not external. I believe that success comes from within. My definition of success is to be true to yourself, and be true to others. That means, that you must cherish your personal ideal even in the face of adversity. I also believe that success is not discriminatory. Success is not restricted to such a class of people, in fact, it may be achieved by any person irrespective of his race, creed, gender and economic background. A good example of success is that of Beethoven. He is one of the world's most famous composers, yet he was deaf. He could not hear the majestic pieces of music that he created. Yet, in the face of this adversity, he was able to maintain his ideals--that of composing music.
用金錢、名譽(yù)和聲望來描述成功,這很簡單。但我相信成功不是外在的,我相信成功來源于自身。我對成功的定義是對已誠實(shí),待人真誠。這就意味著即使面臨困境厄運(yùn),你都必須堅(jiān)守自己的理想。我同樣相信成功沒有偏見,成功不屬于某一類人,事實(shí)上,不論種族、宗教信仰、性別和經(jīng)濟(jì)背景,任何人都能夠獲得。貝多芬的成功就是個(gè)很好的例子。他是世界上最著名的作曲家之一,而他卻雙耳失聰。他無法聽到自己創(chuàng)作出的美妙樂章。然而,身處如此逆境,他仍然能夠堅(jiān)持自己的理想 ——作曲。
To exemplify what success means to me, I pose a question to all of you. What brings us together here today? I believe that it is the beauty of the spoken word. The effect of pause and the sound of rhetoric are unique to the spoken word. I believe the beauty of the spoken word is even stronger for those who have difficulty in expressing themselves. These people are reclusive and had their emotions hidden within them. I once went to Australia and I saw two pictures, Once was drawn by a normal child, the other was drawn by a child with social inhibitions. The picture drawn by the normal child was simple and plain. The other was life-like, full of details and imagination. What this shows is that these are ideas, emotions and feelings that are locked internally in these children.
為了舉例說明我對成功的理解,我想給在座的諸位提一個(gè)問題。是什么讓我們大家今天在此相會?我想是語言世界的美麗讓我們走到了一起。停頓的效果和修辭之聲是話語世界所獨(dú)一無二的。我相信那些說話表達(dá)困難的人們對話語世界中的美麗體會得更為深刻。這些人都隱遁世間,把自己的感情深藏于心。我曾經(jīng)去過澳大利亞,在那里看到了兩幅畫。一幅是正常兒童畫的,另一幅是一個(gè)社會生活受限制的孩子畫的。正常的孩子畫的畫簡單、樸素,而另一幅卻貼近現(xiàn)實(shí)生活,充滿了細(xì)節(jié)和想象。這表明這些孩子的思想、情緒和感受都封閉在他們的內(nèi)心深處。
My ideal is to be the key, spreading the beauty of the spoken words to these children. These children have been neglected, but I feel that I can and should help these children to find themselves and be able to express themselves.
我的理想是成為向這些孩子傳播話語世界美好的鑰匙。這些孩子曾被我們忽視,但我覺得我能夠也應(yīng)該幫助他們發(fā)現(xiàn)和認(rèn)識自己,并且能夠表達(dá)自己的想法。
I realize that this is a difficult task, and there are many obstacles on the way. But I believe in my ideals and I will stick to them--even in the face of adversity. We should never have a premature abortion of ideals--let the child, let our ideals, stand the challenge. For a life without ideals is not living.
我知道這是個(gè)艱巨的任務(wù),實(shí)現(xiàn)起來會遇到許多困難和障礙。但我篤信自己的理想,并將堅(jiān)守下去——即使逆境重重。我們千萬不能對一個(gè)理想作出不成熟的棄絕決定——讓這些孩子,讓我們的理想經(jīng)受挑戰(zhàn)。因?yàn)?,沒有理想的生活是沒有生氣的。
