I don’t believe that there is any one recipe for success. Instead, I believe success is the result of a combination of a lot of different factors - and not all of them are needed for success. The more factors you have on your side, the more likely you are to succeed, and positive attitude is just one of those factors. Here are seven additional factors that are also important.
我不觉得成功有任何的诀窍.相反，我相信成功是多种原因结合的结果，其中有的原因对于成功是非必须的。拥有越多对你有利的原因，你就越大概成功，积极的态度只不过其中之一。以下7个原因也非常重要。
Knowledge A strong body of knowledge about the area in which you wish to succeed is often one of the key building blocks of success. You can build this by pushing yourself - read and try out the foundational materials and push yourself into challenging areas to build your knowledge.
常识。对你期望涉足的范围有充足的常识储备总是是成功的重要基石。你可以通过阅读或尝试基础性的东西使自己前进；或者，敦促自己进入有挑战性的范围以打造我们的常识库。
Natural talent Some people are born with a predisposition to succeed in certain areas. Find this out for yourself by trying a lot of different activities and seeing what comes easy to you. The things you do with little or no effort that genuinely impress others are likely very near your natural talent, and natural talent combined with a lot of hard work leads to greatness.
天分。有的人天生就具备在某些范围获得成功的资质。通过尝试不一样的活动，看看什么更合适自己，找出合适我们的进步范围。那些你花费极少精力、不费吹灰之力去做能真的打动其他人的事物，可能就是你的天分所在。天分加上勤奋就会成功。
Clear goals and planning Much like a trip, it’s a lot easier to get where you want to go if you know where you’re going and spend the time to plan the route you’ll take to get there. Think about what your definition of success exactly is, then identify some of the things that need to be done to help you move towards it.
明确目的和计划。就像旅游一样，假如你了解我们的目的地并花时间去计划路线的话，达到目的地会比较容易。想想你对成功确切的概念是什么，然后明确一下那些能帮你朝目的迈进的事情，并完成它们。
Passion An intense, burning desire to dig deep into a particular area is often a sign that you’ll find success there. Much as with your natural talent, the way to find your passion is to touch on a lot of different areas and see what resonates for you.
激情。想要深入某一特定范围的强烈愿望一般是你将在这一范围有所建树的迹象。想象探寻我们的天分所在一样，找到我们的兴趣所在的方法也是通过涉足不一样的范围，看什么能和自己长生共鸣。
Focus/consistent effort Hard work is another key to finding success. You don’t become a champion without practicing every day. If you want to succeed in a certain area, work hard in that area and go beyond what others are doing - deliberate practice is one big key.
专注、一直如一的努力。努力是成功的另一重要。没天天的练习不可能成为冠军。假如想在某一范围成功，那就在这一范围努力吧，而且要比别的人更努力---游刃有余也是一个要紧环节。
Luck/opportunity Luck and opportunity also play an important role in success - sometimes things just click due to forces outside your control. You can improve your luck by making as many strong personal contacts as you can and sharing what you have to increase their “luck” and “opportunities.”
运势、机会。运势和机会也发挥了要紧用途—有时事情受你控制以外的外力影响只能昙花一现。你可以尽量多地打造人际关系，与他们推荐自己所得，这可提高别人的运势和机会，通过这类想法，你也会改变我们的运势。
Cooperation/support Along with luck comes cooperation - the fact that others are working in small ways to help you succeed rather than hinder you. A spouse telling you that you can do this is going to go a lot further than a spouse telling you you’ll never make it.
合作、支持。随着着好运一块儿的是合作---事实在于，其他人是通过不显著的方法帮你成功，而并没妨碍你。鼓励远比打击更能使人进步。
