Question

 Do you want to know the secret to success? Think about the people you consider successful. What do you think made them who they are today―talent, charm, connections, good luck? In fact, in 99% of the cases, successful people have one common quality―perseverance. They stuck to their dream, no matter (无论)it was to discover a medical cure or learn to play the piano. When someone told them it was impossible, they didn't throw in the towel. Instead, they worked harder to prove themselves. These people had self-doubts just like you and me, but they decided not to give up. (1) It's easy to come up with reasons why we can't do something,

but no one can achieve____________ without any____________ . Take Stephen Hawking for an example―he

is unable to speak and confined to a wheelchair, but he is an excellent physicist. Or Terry Fox, the young Canadian lost one of his legs because of bone cancer. (2)He ran across the country, raising money for cancer research. The list of such heroes goes on and on. Just as Napoleon did, they took the word "impossible" out of their personal dictionary.
