3、 yourself is preventing you from succeeding,youre giving away your power.Youre saying,You have more control over my life than I do.Consider Les Brown.Given up by his parents at birth and labeled educable mentally retarded(智力迟钝的)as a child,he had every reason to lose hope.But when a high school teach

6、ife on purposethey are doing what they believe they were put here to do.Having a purpose in your life is the most important element of becoming a fully functioning person,says Wayne Dyer,author of the best-selling Your Erroneous(不正确的)Zones.Not living life on purpose consists of expending just enough

9、e out a plan.Trying to achieve your goals without an action plan is like trying to drive from Los Angeles to Denver without a map.The wasted time,energy and money will probably cause you to give up long before you reach the Rockies.Brain Tracy,one of Americas most successful sales trainers,speakers
10、and authors,points out,Goals that are not in writing are not goals at all.They are merely fantasies.With a written map in hand,however,youll enjoy the trip and arrive at your destination in the shortest possible time.Be willing to pay the price.Wanting a big house,a luxury car or a million dollars i
11、s nice,but the problem is that practically everyone wants these things.Successful people find out what it costs to make their dream come truethen make it happen.They dont complain about the work it takes.Les Brown has a callus(老茧)on his left ear.Why?When I decided to get into speaking,I had no crede
12、ntials(资格),no reputation,no credibility and no experience,so I had to call a lot of people,he explains.I called over a hundred people a day to ask for an opportunity to speak to their group.This callus is worth several million dollars!Become an expert.One striking factor about the motivational speak

15、he experts,find out what the best are doing,then do what they do.Never give up.It may sound obvious,but when youre truly committed to your goal,giving up isnt even an option.You must be willing to do whatever it takes to make it happen.When Jack Canfield and Mark Victor Hansen compiled Chicken Soup
16、for the Soul,they were turned down by more than a hundred publishers.But instead of giving up,they stayed focused on their goal.Eventually,a small outfit decided to publish the book.It not only became a best-seller but also hatched an entire series of Chicken Soup books that have sold more than 12 m
17、illion copies.Thats the power of perseverance(坚忍不拔).Spend as much of your day as you can on achieving your goals and dreams.Ask yourself,Is what Im doing right now bring me closer to my goal?If not,do something that will.Dont delay.In his book Live Your Dreams,Les Brown recalls talking on the phone
18、with a friend named Marion.The next day she died.Later Brown was helping clean out her office when he came across notes for a play.Unfortunately,it would never be published.Marion was the only one who knew the ending.Remember,we dont have forever.Top achievers know this,but rather than seeing it as negative or depressing,they use the knowledge to spur themselves on.They go after what they wantenergetically and passionately accomplishing their dreams.You can do.
