Ladies and Gentlemen,
It is always an exciting day in New Year Eve as the majority of people in the world are in very good mood of celebrating New Year. There are numerous New Year parties around the globe where many children are re-united with their families, young couples are together with their newborns, grandparents are taking their opportunities to spend some quality time with their own children as well as grandchildren. And the list goes on and on.
Just what exactly is New Year Eve? In my own view, I think there are two sets of meaning.
First, New Year Eve represents hope and a new start of the year. Hope is important to mankind. The symbolic meaning encourages us to put all our bad luck behind us as we look forward to a fresh start from the first day of the year.
Second, New Year Eve represents bonding between mankind. This important day grants all of us a chance to stay close to someone we love dearly. As we spend time with them, perhaps, we ask them how they are doing lately, or we find other ways to show someones how much we care for them.
What else do we get out of New Year Eve? Joy is the feel good factor. It means we enjoy being with someone. And joy is something that money can not buy in this world.
Thank you very much.

The Spring Festival is the most important festival for the Chinese people and is when all family members get together, just like Christmas in the West.
Waking up on New Year, everybody dresses up. First they extend greetings to their parents. Then each child will get money as a New Year gift, wrapped up in red paper. People in northern China will eat jiaozi, or dumplings, for breakfast, as they think "jiaozi" in sound means "bidding farewell to the old and ushering in the new".
That Chinese people pay more attention to be polite,while it is different from other countries .And chinese culture is brilliant and they know how to use a brush to write
Now dragon is the symbol of the whole Chinese people.
Dragon is a animal worshipped by the Chinese people from the time immemorial. But what is it? No one knows.

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.
Today I would like to talk about current environment situations which youcan see all over the world. While we are pursuing better ways of lives, moreproblems we are also making. Sometimes we only notice a unilateral aspect of thematter while ignoring its various functions. This kind of negligence, however,may cause serious problems that could be devastating.
It is said that one false move may lose the game. This is proved in ourdaily life obviously. As the economy is growing rapidly day after day,manufacturers are looking for more opportunities to gain numerous profit. Toearn more money, one way is to decrease the cost of the products. They movetheir factories to developing countries which can not only benefit them muchmore profit than before, but also those countries welcome them since they canhelp increase the countries’ GDP.
While it seems we can gain a lot from building factories to produceproducts, the shortcomings of these buildings are becoming obvious. Though atthe beginning, those developing countries did gain a lot of profit. As timepasses, people living surround the factories deposit industrial waste into theriver which directly leads to the influence of human’s lives. Fish died, birdsdisappeared, people moved, and we couldn’t imagine what would come next. Theseindustries also use lots of resources to carry on their production. Largeamounts of carbon dioxide are discharged, we all know the consequence of that,global warming—as one of the most essential environmental problems in the world,is becoming more and more serious currently. That the local government ignoredwas that these factories damaged their environment without any punishment butreception! They didn’t notice the negative aspect on this investment. What apity!
In summary, nowadays, businessmen are destroying our motherland—earth forthemselves. What should we do in this situation? Ignore them or try to take someactions on it? I believe all of us will choose the latter, right? So just do it,nothing is impossible.
That’s all. Thank you.

“ We are made wise not by the recollections of the past but by our responsibility for the future”
----George Bernard Shaw
China is faced with some enormous challenges as it enters the 21st century. In order to ensure the prosperity of our nation and its future generations we must confront and ultimately solve these challenges.
Some of the more pressing issues facing China are universal. These include environmental degradation, over population andthe effects of globalization.
To overcome some of the things we need to implement include:
Enhancing our scientific and industrial technologies in such areas as IT, Bio- tech, AI and Cybernetics.
Further develop public infrastructure in under developed regions.
Promote education reform at all levels.
Introduce sustainable development initiatives.
The implementation of free trade agreement between China and ASEAN.
The benefit to China in introducing these initiatives will be significant and far-reaching. It is important to realize that these initiatives need to filter down through all elements of the society in China. For instance, cutting edge technologies and intellectual properties; the development of e-commerce based economy; an education system that encourages innovation and creativity; increased foreign investment; higher living standards; more efficient use of natural resources.
It is important for us to realize these reforms are both essential and necessary. These will help China to fulfill its vast and unrealized potential on the world stage. It will also contribute more to a globalized world of the new century.
As for the future our task is not to foresee but to enable.

Everybody will meet all kinds of difficulties during their lives, of course, they are willing to accept success, but the fact is that no one can win all the time, they will meet failure now and then. Fail is an unpleasant thing to face, people treat fail a bad thing. While for me, I think we can learn from failure and be a better man.
每個(gè)人都會(huì)在他們的一生中遇到各種各樣的困難,當(dāng)然,人們喜歡接受成功,但是實(shí)際上,他們會(huì)時(shí)而不時(shí)地失敗。失敗是一件不愉快的事情,人們把失敗當(dāng)成一件壞事。然而對(duì)于我來(lái)說(shuō),我覺(jué)得我們可以從失敗中學(xué)到東西,成為一個(gè)更好的人。
Everyone is afraid of facing failure, because failure brings them the sense of frustration. When facing failure, people choose to avoiding talking about it, they feel that they will be looked down upon by others. Indeed, no one likes to failure anything, they want to be successful all the time.
每個(gè)人都害怕面對(duì)失敗,因?yàn)槭?huì)給人帶來(lái)挫敗感。當(dāng)面對(duì)困難時(shí),人們選擇避免談?wù)撍,覺(jué)得會(huì)被別人看低。確實(shí),沒(méi)有人會(huì)喜歡做事情失敗,他們想要一直成功。
If people change their idea about failure, they can see the positive side. There is an old saying that failure is the mother of success, which means that people will learn from failure and make preparation for the success. So failure is not that hard to face, if people take right attitude towards it, they will gain success soon.
如果人們改變他們對(duì)失敗的看法,他們可以看到積極的方面。有一句老話(huà),失敗乃成功之母,這意味著人們可以從失敗中學(xué)習(xí),為成功做準(zhǔn)備。所以,失敗并不是那么難以面對(duì),如果人們正確對(duì)待成功,他們會(huì)很快成功。
In a word, failure is not a bad something, it can bring success, only if people treat it right.
總的來(lái)說(shuō),失敗不是一件壞事,它可以帶來(lái)成功,只要人們正確對(duì)待。

Dear leaders, teachers and students:
hello everyone!
There is a fable that a man caught a young eagle in an eagle's nest on the top of a high mountain. He took the young eagle home and kept it in a chicken cage. The young eagle pecks, plays and rests with the chicken every day. He thinks he is also a chicken. When the chicken grows up, its wings are plump. The master wanted to train it into a falcon, but because it was mixed with chickens all day, it had become a chicken and had no desire to fly at all. The master tried all kinds of methods, but they didn't work. Finally, he took it to the top of the mountain and threw it out. The eagle fell like a stone. In a hurry, he flapped his wings desperately. In this way, he finally flew up!
This fable tells us that if we don't know how to fight, struggle and explore the potential deep in our hearts, we can never fly, but just a chicken in a cage. I think this may be the true meaning of autonomous learning!
Here, we would like to thank the teacher for providing me with a shortcut to the end of learning, and let us rekindle the courage to climb the peak of learning. He is like a spring slowly surging in our hearts, he is like a flower of success thriving in the soil of knowledge, and he is like a mountain eagle flying in the broad blue sky again in the fable! Finally, I wish our self-management and cooperative learning will blossom better and better!
Thank you!

美聯(lián)儲(chǔ)主席伯克南普林斯頓大學(xué)畢業(yè)典禮演講稿中英雙語(yǔ)對(duì)照:
It's nice to be back at Princeton. I find it difficult to believe that it's been almost 11 years since I departed these halls for Washington. I wrote recently to inquire about the status of my leave from the university, and the letter I got back began, "Regrettably, Princeton receives many more qualified applicants for faculty positions than we can accommodate."重返普林斯頓感覺(jué)不錯(cuò),很難相信,我離開(kāi)校園赴華盛頓已經(jīng)11年了。近期我向校方詢(xún)問(wèn)了我的教職問(wèn)題,回信稱(chēng):“很遺憾,普林斯頓收到很多更有才華的學(xué)者的求職信,而教職有限!
I'll extend my best wishes to the seniors later, but first I want to congratulate the parents and families here. As a parent myself, I know that putting your kid through college these days is no walk in the park. Some years ago I had a colleague who sent three kids through Princeton even though neither he nor his wife attended this university. He and his spouse were very proud of that accomplishment, as they should have been. But my colleague also used to say that, from a financial perspective, the experience was like buying a new Cadillac every year and then driving it off a cliff. I should say that he always added that he would do it all over again in a minute. So, well done, moms, dads, and families.我將在稍后獻(xiàn)上對(duì)畢業(yè)生的最美好祝愿,首先我要恭喜在座的家長(zhǎng)們。作為父母,我知道這年頭供孩子讀完大學(xué)不容易,數(shù)年前,我的一個(gè)同事有3個(gè)孩子畢業(yè)于普林斯頓,盡管他們夫妻都不畢業(yè)于此,但我的同事常說(shuō),從財(cái)政角度講,這如同每年買(mǎi)輛卡迪拉克,然后讓車(chē)墜崖。他總會(huì)補(bǔ)充說(shuō),他會(huì)毫不猶豫的選擇重新來(lái)過(guò)。所以,感謝你們的工作,母親們,父親們,及家人們。
This is indeed an impressive and appropriate setting for a commencement. I am sure that, from this lectern, any number of distinguished spiritual leaders have ruminated on the lessons of the Ten Commandments. I don't have that kind of confidence, and, anyway, coveting your neighbor's ox or donkey is not the problem it used to be, so I thought I would use my few minutes today to make Ten Suggestions, or maybe just Ten Observations, about the world and your lives after Princeton. Please note, these points have nothing whatsoever to do with interest rates. My qualification for making such suggestions, or observations, besides having kindly been invited to speak today by President Tilghman, is the same as the reason that your obnoxious brother or sister got to go to bed later--I am older than you. All of what follows has been road-tested in real-life situations, but past performance is no guarantee of future results.這確實(shí)是做畢業(yè)典禮演講的合適場(chǎng)合,我認(rèn)為,在這一講臺(tái)上,每個(gè)精神導(dǎo)師都受到過(guò)“十誡”的教誨,我沒(méi)有那樣的信心,而且無(wú)論無(wú)何,覬覦鄰居的驢牛已不是目前的問(wèn)題,所以今年前幾分鐘我將提出“十個(gè)建議”,或稱(chēng)為對(duì)這個(gè)世界和你們畢業(yè)后的生活的十個(gè)觀察。請(qǐng)注意,這十點(diǎn)與利率毫無(wú)關(guān)系。我之所以有資格提出這些建議和或觀察,除了普林斯頓的善意邀請(qǐng)外,理由和你們討厭的哥哥姐姐可以晚睡是一個(gè)道理:我比你們更老。以下內(nèi)容均經(jīng)受過(guò)生活的考驗(yàn),但以往表現(xiàn)并不能確保未來(lái)的結(jié)果。
1. The poet Robert Burns once said something about the best-laid plans of mice and men ganging aft agley, whatever "agley" means. A more contemporary philosopher, Forrest Gump, said something similar about life and boxes of chocolates and not knowing what you are going to get. They were both right. Life is amazingly unpredictable; any 22-year-old who thinks he or she knows where they will be in 10 years, much less in 30, is simply lacking imagination. Look what happened to me: A dozen years ago I was minding my own business teaching Economics 101 in Alexander Hall and trying to think of good excuses for avoiding faculty meetings. Then I got a phone call... In case you are skeptical of Forrest Gump's insight, here's a concrete suggestion for each of the graduating seniors. Take a few minutes the first chance you get and talk to an alum participating in his or her 25th, or 30th, or 40th reunion--you know, somebody who was near the front of the P-rade. Ask them, back when they were graduating 25, 30, or 40 years ago, where they expected to be today. If you can get them to open up, they will tell you that today they are happy and satisfied in various measures, or not, and their personal stories will be filled with highs and lows and in-betweens. But, I am willing to bet, those life stories will in almost all cases be quite different, in large and small ways, from what they expected when they started out. This is a good thing, not a bad thing; who wants to know the end of a story that's only in its early chapters? Don't be afraid to let the drama play out.1、阿甘曾講到人生和巧克力的相似性,你不知道下一塊巧克力的味道。人生確實(shí)難以預(yù)料,任何一個(gè)認(rèn)為知道其10年后情況的畢業(yè)生,更不同說(shuō)三十年了,我只能說(shuō)他或她缺乏想象力。看看我吧,12年前我一心教經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)入門(mén)課程,想著編造什么理由不參加教學(xué)會(huì)議,結(jié)果我接到了那個(gè)電話(huà)。有過(guò)你有機(jī)會(huì)與畢業(yè)25年、30年或40年的校友交談,并使他們敞開(kāi)心扉,他們將告訴你,他們對(duì)生活中哪些事滿(mǎn)意或不滿(mǎn)意,他們經(jīng)歷過(guò)的高潮和低谷。但我敢打賭,他們的人生故事將與預(yù)期相異。這是好事而不是壞事,誰(shuí)想在故事的開(kāi)篇就知道結(jié)局呢?
2. Does the fact that our lives are so influenced by chance and seemingly small decisions and actions mean that there is no point to planning, to striving? Not at all. Whatever life may have in store for you, each of you has a grand, lifelong project, and that is the development of yourself as a human being. Your family and friends and your time at Princeton have given you a good start. What will you do with it? Will you keep learning and thinking hard and critically about the most important questions? Will you become an emotionally stronger person, more generous, more loving, more ethical? Will you involve yourself actively and constructively in the world? Many things will happen in your lives, pleasant and not so pleasant, but, paraphrasing a Woodrow Wilson School adage from the time I was here, "Wherever you go, there you are." If you are not happy with yourself, even the loftiest achievements won't bring you much satisfaction.2、 是否人生偶然性之大的事實(shí),意味著小的決定和行動(dòng)無(wú)足輕重,不需要規(guī)劃和奮斗呢?當(dāng)然不是。無(wú)論未來(lái)人生如何,她將是一個(gè)宏大和漫長(zhǎng)的項(xiàng)目,是你作為個(gè)人 的發(fā)展過(guò)程。你的家人、朋友和你在普林斯頓的時(shí)光已經(jīng)為你造就了良好的開(kāi)端,未來(lái)你會(huì)如何?你會(huì)不斷學(xué)習(xí)、竭力思索、對(duì)至關(guān)重要的問(wèn)題持批判態(tài)度嗎?你會(huì) 成為情感上更強(qiáng)大、更大度、更有愛(ài)心、更道德的人嗎?你會(huì)更積極的、更建設(shè)性的參與世事嗎?你的人生會(huì)有很多故事,快樂(lè)的,及不太快樂(lè)的,如果你不為自己 感到快樂(lè),就連最偉大的成就業(yè)也不會(huì)讓你感到滿(mǎn)足。
3. The concept of success leads me to consider so-called meritocracies and their implications. We have been taught that meritocratic institutions and societies are fair. Putting aside the reality that no system, including our own, is really entirely meritocratic, meritocracies may be fairer and more efficient than some alternatives. But fair in an absolute sense? Think about it. A meritocracy is a system in which the people who are the luckiest in their health and genetic endowment; luckiest in terms of family support, encouragement, and, probably, income; luckiest in their educational and career opportunities; and luckiest in so many other ways difficult to enumerate--these are the folks who reap the largest rewards. The only way for even a putative meritocracy to hope to pass ethical muster, to be considered fair, is if those who are the luckiest in all of those respects also have the greatest responsibility to work hard, to contribute to the betterment of the world, and to share their luck with others. As the Gospel of Luke says (and I am sure my rabbi will forgive me for quoting the New Testament in a good cause): "From everyone to whom much has been given, much will be required; and from the one to whom much has been entrusted, even more will be demanded" (Luke 12:48, New Revised Standard Version Bible). Kind of grading on the curve, you might say.3、 成功的概念促使我考慮所謂的精英主義及其含義。精英是在健康和基因上最幸運(yùn)的人,他們?cè)诩彝ブС、鼓?lì)上,或在收入上也是最幸運(yùn)的,他們?cè)诮逃吐殬I(yè)機(jī)遇 上最幸運(yùn),他們?cè)诤芏喾矫娑甲钚疫\(yùn),一般人難以復(fù)制。一個(gè)精英體制是否公平,要看這些精英是否有義務(wù)努力工作、致力于建設(shè)更好的世界,并與他人分享幸運(yùn)。
4. Who is worthy of admiration? The admonition from Luke--which is shared by most ethical and philosophical traditions, by the way--helps with this question as well. Those most worthy of admiration are those who have made the best use of their advantages or, alternatively, coped most courageously with their adversities. I think most of us would agree that people who have, say, little formal schooling but labor honestly and diligently to help feed, clothe, and educate their families are deserving of greater respect--and help, if necessary--than many people who are superficially more successful. They're more fun to have a beer with, too. That's all that I know about sociology.4、誰(shuí)值得尊重?是那些充分利用其優(yōu)勢(shì),或勇敢面對(duì)逆境的人。我想我們會(huì)認(rèn)同,那些雖然接受的正式教育不多,但誠(chéng)實(shí)勞動(dòng)、勤勉的為家人提供衣食和教育的人,相比更多表面上很成功的人,更值得尊重,和他們喝兩杯是更有趣的事情。
5. Since I have covered what I know about sociology, I might as well say something about political science as well. In regard to politics, I have always liked Lily Tomlin's line, in paraphrase: "I try to be cynical, but I just can't keep up." We all feel that way sometime. Actually, having been in Washington now for almost 11 years, as I mentioned, I feel that way quite a bit. Ultimately, though, cynicism is a poor substitute for critical thought and constructive action. Sure, interests and money and ideology all matter, as you learned in political science. But my experience is that most of our politicians and policymakers are trying to do the right thing, according to their own views and consciences, most of the time. If you think that the bad or indifferent results that too often come out of Washington are due to base motives and bad intentions, you are giving politicians and policymakers way too much credit for being effective. Honest error in the face of complex and possibly intractable problems is a far more important source of bad results than are bad motives. For these reasons, the greatest forces in Washington are ideas, and people prepared to act on those ideas. Public service isn't easy. But, in the end, if you are inclined in that direction, it is a worthy and challenging pursuit.5、 提到政治,憤世嫉俗是批判性思考和建設(shè)性行動(dòng)的更糟糕的替代品。當(dāng)然,利益、金錢(qián)和意識(shí)形態(tài)都有影響力,如你在政治課上所學(xué)。但我的感受是大部分政界人士 都在尋求做正確的事情,大部分時(shí)候,這由他們的觀點(diǎn)和意識(shí)決定。在復(fù)雜及難于處理的問(wèn)題上所犯的誠(chéng)實(shí)錯(cuò)誤,更是糟糕結(jié)果的主要原因,而非不良動(dòng)機(jī)。因此, 華盛頓最有影響的力量是觀念和想法,人們基于這些觀念去行動(dòng)。公共服務(wù)并不輕松,如果你選擇了這一道路,那是值得的,并頗具挑戰(zhàn)性。
6. Having taken a stab at sociology and political science, let me wrap up economics while I'm at it. Economics is a highly sophisticated field of thought that is superb at explaining to policymakers precisely why the choices they made in the past were wrong. About the future, not so much. However, careful economic analysis does have one important benefit, which is that it can help kill ideas that are completely logically inconsistent or wildly at variance with the data. This insight covers at least 90 percent of proposed economic policies.6、經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)是頗具詭辯性的思維領(lǐng)域,她在解釋決策者以往所犯錯(cuò)誤方面顯得很崇高,但在預(yù)測(cè)未來(lái)時(shí),則不僅如此。然而,謹(jǐn)慎的經(jīng)濟(jì)分析確有重要益處,她能去除那些不合邏輯或與數(shù)據(jù)不符的想法,這對(duì)90%的經(jīng)濟(jì)政策建議有影響。
7. I'm not going to tell you that money doesn't matter, because you wouldn't believe me anyway. In fact, for too many people around the world, money is literally a life-or-death proposition. But if you are part of the lucky minority with the ability to choose, remember that money is a means, not an end. A career decision based only on money and not on love of the work or a desire to make a difference is a recipe for unhappiness.7、我不會(huì)告訴你們金錢(qián)無(wú)用,反正你們也不會(huì)聽(tīng)的。事實(shí)上,對(duì)全球很多人來(lái)說(shuō),金錢(qián)能夠決定生存還是死亡。但如果你屬于那些幸運(yùn)得有能力進(jìn)行抉擇的少數(shù)人,請(qǐng)記住,金錢(qián)只是途徑,而非最終目標(biāo)。職業(yè)選擇基于收入、而非熱愛(ài),或做出貢獻(xiàn)的熱情,是日后苦惱的根源。
8. Nobody likes to fail but failure is an essential part of life and of learning. If your uniform isn't dirty, you haven't been in the game.8、沒(méi)有人希望失敗,但失敗是生活和學(xué)習(xí)的一部分。如果你衣衫整齊,你并沒(méi)有進(jìn)入比賽。
9. I spoke earlier about definitions of personal success in an unpredictable world. I hope that as you develop your own definition of success, you will be able to do so, if you wish, with a close companion on your journey. In making that choice, remember that physical beauty is evolution's way of assuring us that the other person doesn't have too many intestinal parasites. Don't get me wrong, I am all for beauty, romance, and sexual attraction--where would Hollywood and Madison Avenue be without them? But while important, those are not the only things to look for in a partner. The two of you will have a long trip together, I hope, and you will need each other's support and sympathy more times than you can count. Speaking as somebody who has been happily married for 35 years, I can't imagine any choice more consequential for a lifelong journey than the choice of a traveling companion.9、 我希望你們能夠發(fā)展自身對(duì)成功的定義,在這一過(guò)程中,你們能夠選擇一位親密的伴侶。在做出選擇時(shí),要記住外表美只是人類(lèi)演變的一種方式,它使我們確信對(duì)方 沒(méi)有腸道寄生蟲(chóng)。不要誤解我,我也為美麗、浪漫和性所吸引,不然美國(guó)影視業(yè)和廣告業(yè)怎么生存下去呢?但盡管重要,這些不是尋找人生伴侶時(shí)需要考慮的事 情。你們將共同走過(guò)人生旅程,需要對(duì)方的支持和關(guān)愛(ài)。作為已婚35年的人士,我想象不到比選擇人生伴侶更重要的事情。
10. Call your mom and dad once in a while. A time will come when you will want your own grown-up, busy, hyper-successful children to call you. Also, remember who paid your tuition to Princeton.10、時(shí)不時(shí)的給父母去個(gè)電話(huà)。早晚有一天,你希望自己長(zhǎng)大成人的、工作繁忙的、超級(jí)成功的孩子給你來(lái)個(gè)電話(huà),再者,請(qǐng)記著誰(shuí)供養(yǎng)你上的大學(xué)。
Those are my suggestions. They're probably worth exactly what you paid for them. But they come from someone who shares your affection for this great institution and who wishes you the best for the future.
Congratulations, graduates. Give 'em hell.最后,畢業(yè)生們,給他們點(diǎn)顏色看看。

Never Put off until Tomorrow What You Can DoToday
We have been told that never put off until tomorrowwhat you can do today since childhood. However,there are still many people who like putting off thethings that should do today until tomorrow.Theyhave no plans for their work and their time. As aresult, they will not accomplish their goals in theend. For example, one Sunday I felt so tired after having a football match that I did not finishmy homework even at night. I thought I could get up earlier to go to school the next morningso that I could finish my homework before class. But the next morning I was not able to get toschool in time because of the traffic jam. I was punished by the teacher. It taught me a lesson.From then on I made a determination that I would never put off anything important until thenext day. Please remember: Work today, for you don’t know how much you may be hinderedtomorrow. Seize the present day,cherish every minute you have now and trust the tomorrowas little as possible.

like a child endlessly asking, we humans, throughout history, have been continually demanding what we desire from nature. we enjoy the comfort and beauty of our furniture, yet we never bother to think about the serious soil erosion caused by deforestation. we take it for granted that we must warm ourselves in winter times, yet we seldom realize the burning away of precious natural resources. we appreciate all the prosperity from the development of modern industry, yet few would give the slightest consideration to the global air and water pollution caused by industrial wastes. our ruthless exploitation has permanently impaired our mother earth. as we tragically learned from last summer's floods. we cannot continue our carelessness.

Success is a Feeling
Everyone wants success. But what is success? Generally, people think success is a great deal of money, high position, academic
achievement, and so on. However, most of these people never really define what success means to them. In my opinion, success is a feeling, which makes you happy and content.
Success is a feeling, that means success is not considered as big or small, high or low. It is just a good mood from your heart. Maybe passing a final test is a success for a student, learning to walk is a success for a little child, marrying a beautiful girl is a success for a lad, signing a contract is a success for a company. Success varies from individual to group.
Success is a feeling, that means success is changing since your childhood. While you were a little child, you thought it was a success that your parents finally bought you lovely toys after you begged again and again. Success is the feeling you had when you were told that you won the contest. After graduation, you started working. You were successful when you finished a complicated task very well and you were praised. When married, maybe a happy marriage and a happy family meant success for you. When your child grew up, you hoped he or she attend a famous university or go abroad to study or work, at that time you considered that was your success. When you were old enough and couldn't work at all, success was a feeling that your children and grandchildren came to see you from a long distance. Actually, success always accompanied you in your growth.
However, we have to admit that you can't be successful all the time. We always meet many difficulties on the way to success. The more difficult it is, the much happier we are when we succeed.
To be successful, we should have a clear aim and then try our best to reach it. Wherever you go, whatever you are, your success belongs to yourself. It is a good feeling that you love it very much, and it really can make you laugh from the heart.
