In my opinion, success means a positive character that is extraordinary in particular field. For example, Albert Einstein is a successful person in science; Shakespeare is a successful person in composing and writing a play. No matter in sports, academic learning, dancing, singing, there are people who are outstanding, so I will regard them as successful people. However, to me, why they have got a chance to achieve their accomplishment does not happened occasionally. I think it is because those people own a different passion toward what they really want.
I went to see a celebrity’s speech last week. He translated the series of Lord of the Ring. Since I am interested in translating, I attended to watch his performance seeing if I could get some useful knowledge from him. His name is Lucifer Chu. Actually he majored in Electrical Engineering which stunned me of his translating achievement. What’s more, he spent all his salary which is about 35,000,000 creating a website called OOPS (http://www.myoops.org/twocw/). Seeing his achievement, I wrote an e-mail to him asking about his accomplishment.
The first question I asked is how he translated the whole series of the novel because he was a non-English major student. The only word he replied is “Love”. I was wondering what he exactly meant as soon as I saw this reply. Then I realized that the Love he said is probably means enthusiasm, patience, optimistic and devoutness. The second question I asked is how he trained his speech ability. He said that this question is much easier than the first one. Because after you practiced for one million time, you will know what happened. The second reply is as a proverb “practice makes perfect”. We have heard this phrase many times but seldom of us can really carry out practically.
Consequently, I surely learn some qualities and traits which a successful person should possess. In a nutshell, a successful person has a different “attitude” toward learning one thing. So I think a person who is devoting in one thing and finishing it completely can be regarded as a successful person.
