Part 1 Warming up

abilities, hard work


Vocabulary: prosper 1, shed light onto, be blessed with, positive, critically, interact


In this part you are going to hear a passage about how one can achieve success. Listen carefully and fill in the blanks with the missing words.


(No one sets out in life to fail.) The reality is that many do. Why do some prosper while others struggle just to exist? There is no simple answer to that question but here are a few thoughts that might shed some light onto this very complex issue.


1. The future is in your imagination


Humans are blessed with the ability to think into the future. We can use our imagination to see possibilities. Use this unique gift in a positive way.( Build a vision of what you want to be. have or do. It is the starting point of all successful activities.)


2. To win, you must expect to win


Once we imagine our future, we must wrap that vision with a belief system that encourages us to fulfill 2 the vision.


3. We are surrounded by opportunity


As we move through time, opportunities are abound 3. All we have to do is recognize them and reach out to grab them. Capturing opportunity demands risk. Are you a risk taker?


4. Like what you do or do something else


Low achievers usually don't like to work or don't like the work they are doing. Those who don't want to work will never prosper. For those who work, it is critically important that their work be a joyful 4 experience. Match your skills to your job requirements. The closer the match, the more enjoyable the experience.


5. Your success depends on other people


No man is an island. We must interact with and receive the support of others. Build a network of friends. Get to know people of achievement. Listen to their words,watch their actions and apply what works for you.


6. Everyone can succeed
