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.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.Natural talent Some people are born to succeed in certain areas. Find this out for yourself by trying a lot of different activities and seeing what comes easy to you.,Clear goals and planning Much like a trip, its a lot easier to get where you want to go if you know where youre going and spend the time to plan the route youll take to get there.Passion An intense, burning desire to dig deep into a particular area is often a sign that youll find success there.Hard work is another key to finding success. If you want to succeed in a certain area, work hard in that area and go beyond what others are doing.Luck and opportunity also play an important role in success. 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.” And last but not least is cooperation with people around you.,Reading Focus-Text A,First Reading Read the text and then answer the questions in the left margin.,Note 1Bill Gates (1955): An American business magnate, philanthropist, uthor, the worlds third richest person (as of February 8, 2008), and chairman of Microsoft, the software company he founded with Paul Allen.
