When you believe in yourself,it fuels (促进) your creativity and your motivation to do things.All successful people from Gandhi to Tesla believed in themselves.2.We all have to trust that we have the ability to turn the impossible into the possible.2.Know your intention3,it is important to have an understanding of your intention.If your intention is simply rooted in money and fame,you are never going to truly feel successful.Money and fame only serve the ego (自负) and don’t provide true feelings of success.For a truly successful life,your intention has to be rooted in your purpose and passions.When your intention is to serve your purpose,make a change in the world and express your talents,you will feel true success and satisfaction.3.4Success is all around you right now.Stop to take a moment and you’ll notice the amazing success that is already present in your life.5.Being thankful for the tiniest successes in life will help you to create more and more success.A.Realize you are already successfulB.Discover the true meaning of successC.This is what gave them the drive to succeedD.If you want to create a good living conditionE.When it comes to achieving greatness in this lifeF.That is when you will start to feel truly successfulG.Success is much more than just money or fame三、语法填空Louis Pasteur was a French scientist who developed cures for many dangerous 1.(illness).He also successfully invented a way to kill bacteria in milk and make it safe to drink.Pasteur was born in 1822,in Dole,France.He was a courageous student who 2.(frequent) asked questions,searched for answers and challenged incorrect ideas.He 3.(receive) a Doctor of Science degree in 1847.While 4.
