答案 The Essential Qualities One Should Have In Order To Succeed In the world today, there is almost nobody that does not long to succeed. People seem to concur on what success is, but their views vary when they talk about how to obtain success. Some people attach too much importance to good luck and family background, while others contend that hard work is everything. Obviously, although these are very good qualities for success, they are far from enough or complete. Indeed, success calls for such essential inner qualities as perseverance, eruditeness and open-mindedness. To talk about Perseverance is one thing, but to practice it is quite another. Perseverance is not that you can see the immediate results of your work this morning but that you build your castle one brick at a time. For a long time you see instead of a castle, bricks, bricks and more bricks. That classic example of Addison, who had failed 999 times before he succeeded, is typical of perseverance. Suppose he had stopped at 999, then what would have happened? He might have said goodbye to the long-waited success. So persistence or perseverance is what we need to succeed. Eruditeness is another essential quality one should have to achieve success today. We are now living in the age of information and new knowledge. Knowledge and information are booming each day. Being information-poor can be a serious problem. In this case, you are not able to pass all kinds of examinations to get yourself on to the social ladder in my nation. The 21st century favors the persons whose knowledge is widely ranged. Not only should you be intensive in a certain area but you are also expected to have such knowledge like philosophy, art and religion. Eruditeness emphasizes both the quantity and quality of knowledge. With this you can be said to be all ready. Perseverance and eruditeness, so far as they were possible, enable us to get ready extraneously. We also need something intrinsic—a good personality, whose sign is a sense of humor. A sense of humor can help you nurture a healthy state of mind. It enables you to strike up team work and improve your ability to communicate and influence other people and the environment so that you can have greater control over the things going around you. Almost with no exception, great men and great women are always sensibly humorous. There may be dozens of qualities one must have in order to be successful, but the essential ones are only a few. As far as I observe, perseverance, eruditeness and open-mindedness are the most important. They can definitely make us successful.
