What makes them succeed?The difference between successful people and failures is that successful people make a habit of doing the things that failures do not like to do. And what are those things? Well, the things that failures dont like to do are the same things that successful people dont like to do either. But successful people do them anyway because they realize that these are the prices that they must pay for the success that they desire(渴望).Successful people are more concerned with (一心想做某事) pleasing results. Failures are more concerned with pleasing methods. Successful people do things that are hard and necessary and important. Unsuccessful people, on the other hand, prefer to do the things that are fun and easy and which give immediate(直接的) enjoyment.Remember, everything in life is a test. Every day, every hour and sometimes every minute, you are taking a test of self-mastery, self-control and self-discipline. The test is to see whether you can make yourself do the things that are most important and stay with them until they are complete. The test is whether or not you can keep your mind on what you want and where you are going rather than thinking about things you dont want or problems that you have had in the past.( ) 1.

Failures like to do the things that are fun and easy and which give immediate (直接的) enjoyment.( ) 4.

So newspapermen use fewest words. They tell their readers at once what happened, where, when and how it happened, and so on.
