Kick Your Way To Success

No man in the world does not desire success. Actually every path to success starts with a great idea. There’s only one problem: good ideas are everywhere. When successful, what really matters is not having an idea, but having the courage to make it a reality. This usually means losing the sense of security of a normal job and the risk of getting a steady salary.

Even with a great idea and the courage to pursue it, your efforts will be worthless unless you are willing to take massive action. Write down your goals and the action steps you will take to pursue those goals. 【1】 Share it with others, so they will hold you accountable for achieving your plan. Make yourself responsible and master of your destiny.

Without passion, even the greatest vision will become weaker. Without passion, your energy and enthusiasm will flag when you meet with inevitable obstacles. 【2】

It’s the force allowing you to devote every moment of your workday to bring you closer to the success you are eager to.

Once you’ve made a decision, doubt is a worm that eats away at your ability to succeed. Life and work can be hard and even cruel. Remember, the race is not for the swift but rather those who persevere. Rather than allowing doubt to affect your progress, you should be confident in your vision and plan. 【3】

The old sayings of “no one is an island” and “there is a powerful man” may sound a bit old, but they don’t make them unreal. 【4】 Meeting regularly can be positive and provide new perspectives on your approach. The Internet makes it very easy to find a coach, an instructor, or a planning group that can provide the emotional support, experience, and wisdom to help turn your vision into reality.

A. Make your passion a physical trait of your personality.

B. Post your vision and plan in your bedroom, bathroom, office.

C. However, taking the easy way of dishonesty has a tendency to sneak back up on you.

D. In the process, adapt to your needs, but know that success will ultimately be yours.

E. Even with self-discipline, in the long run, you’ll need contact with spiritual leaders.

F. In the end, it causes far more problems than taking the risk of telling the truth.

【解析】

本文是一篇说明文，介绍了如何踏上成功之路的几点建议。

【1】空前说用你的方式写下你的目标和你将采取的行动步骤来追求这些目标，此处承接上文，讲的是写完这些后接下来的做法，故B项（在你的卧室、浴室、办公室张贴你的愿景和计划）符合语境。

【2】本段讲的就是激情的重要性，此处总结上文，讲的是一定要有激情，故A项（让你的激情成为你个性的一个身体特征）符合语境。

【3】空前说与其让怀疑影响你的进步，你应该对你的愿景和计划充满信心，此处承接上文，讲的还是关于自信这个话题，故D项（在这个过程中，要适应你的需要，但要知道成功最终会属于你）符合语境。

【4】空后说互联网让你很容易就能找到一个教练，一个指导员，或一个规划小组，他们可以提供情感上的支持，经验和智慧，帮助你把梦想变成现实，这是对空处的举例说明，因此此处是说要多与能在精神上给你支持的人接触，故E项（即使你自律，从长远来看，你也需要与精神领袖接触）符合语境。
