SuccessBy Wilferd A . Peterson1．There are no secrets of success . Success is doing the things you know you should do .Success is not doing the things you know you should not do . 2．Success is not limited to any one area of your life . It encompasses all of the facets of your relationships : as parent , as wife or husband , as citizen , neighbor , worker , and all of the others . 3．Success is not confined to any one part of your personality but is related to the development of all the parts : body , mind , heart and spirit . It is making the most of your total self . 4．Success is discovering your best talents , skills , and abilities and applying them where they will make the most effective contribution to your fellow men . 5．Success is focusing the full power of all you are on what you have a burning desire to achieve . 6．Success is ninety － nine percent mental attitude . It calls for love , joy , optimism , confidence , serenity , poise , faith , courage , cheerful ness , imagination , initiative , tolerance , honesty , patience , and enthusiasm . 7．Success is not arriving at the summit of a mountain as a final destination . It is a continuing upward spiral of progress . It is a perpetual growth . 8．Success is having the courage to meet failure without being defeated . It is refusing to let present loss interfere with your long － range goal . 9．Success is accepting the challenge of the difficult . In the inspiring words of Phillips Brooks : ＂Do not pray for tasks equal to your powers . Pray for powers equal your tasks . Then the doing of your work shall be no miracle , but you shall be the miracle .＂ 成功威尔弗雷德·皮得森不同事俗对“成功”所做事功上的注解，作者从更深更广的精神层面阐述了自己对“成功”别具一格的理解，读起来令人豁然开朗。1．成功没有秘密。成功就是去做你认为该做的事。成功绝非去做你知道不该做的事。2．成功不应局限于生活的某一领域。它应体现于你社会生活的各个方面：作为父母，作为妻子或丈夫，作为公民、邻居、工作人员和所有其它方面。3．成功不应局限于人格身心的某一方面，而应涉及其全面的发展：身体、思维、心灵和精神。它是你全部身心的最高表现。4．成功是使你卓越的才智、技艺和能力的开发，并运用他们为人们做出最有效的贡献。5．成功是聚精会神于你乐此不疲的事业上。6．成功的百分之九十九是健康的心态。它需要爱心、喜悦、乐观、自信、沉着、稳重、信念、勇气、兴致、想像、创新、宽容、求实、谦虚、忍耐和热情。7．成功并不以到达某个山峰为最终目标。它是一个不断盘旋上升的过程，它是永远地进取。8．成功是百折不挠。绝不因暂时的挫折而放弃远大的目标。9．成功是勇于接受困难的挑战。菲力普·布鲁克令人鼓舞的名言是：“不要乞求得到力所能及的工作，而要为得到完成任务和使命的能力而祈祷。那么工作本身不会成为奇迹，而你自己却会成为奇迹。”
