　　Once we have defined 1 our idea of success, the experts tell us that we should set some goals and then work out the actions or steps needed to reach them. Analyst 2 Richard St John, speaker at the Big Ideas forum 3 several years ago, did this by asking 500 other participants --who ranged from Bill Gates, Rupert Murdoch to Goldie Hawn and Al Gore--to tell him what was their secrets of success. From these interviews, he came up with this list of eight steps:

　　一旦我们对成功有所定义，专家们就会告诉我们要建立目标，并采取相应的措施达成目标。几年前曾在伟大思想论坛演讲的分析家理查德·圣约翰就曾做了一项关于成功的秘诀的调查。这项调查采访了500人，包括比尔·盖茨、鲁伯特·默多克（传媒大亨），还有歌蒂·韩以及阿尔·戈尔（前美国副总统）。通过这些调查，他总结出了成功的八个步骤：
　　Step 1 passion--find something that you are passionate 4 about that you would do for love, not money, and the dollars will follow.
　　第一步：激情。寻找你所热爱的工作，这样，工作就是出于热爱而不是为了金钱。金钱也会随之而来。
　　Step 2 work--there is no substitute for hard work but if you love the work you do, then it's not so hard. You become a "workaholic".
　　第二步：工作。工作的辛苦是无法避免的，但是如果你热爱自己的工作，自然就不会觉得很辛苦。你也会变成“工作狂”
　　Step 3 good--be very good at something. Practice, practice, practice until you are perfect.
　　第三步：专长。一定要在某一方面十分突出。练习，练习，不断练习直到非常熟练为止。
　　Step 4 focus--on one thing so that all your energy and effort pour in one direction.
　　第四步：专注。锁定一个目标，并为之投入全部精力和努力。
　　Step 5 push--push yourself through shyness, self-doubt, and negative thoughts. And if this is too hard, he says, call your mother and she will do it for you.
　　第五步：鞭策。努力让自己摆脱害羞、自我怀疑和消极思想的困扰。如果做不到这点，那就告诉你的母亲，她会帮助你。
　　step 6 serve--find some way to serve others. Millionaries do this by providing something of value to others willing to pay for it.
　　第六步：服务。寻找为别人服务的机会。百万富翁为别人提供有价值的服务，而那些人也愿意为之偿付金钱。
　　Step 7 ideas--look for ways to keep generating 5 new ideas and act on the best of them.
　　第七步：思想。不断让自己迸发新思想，并将其中最好的付诸行动。
　　Step 8 persist--never give up no matter what is thrown at you.
　　第八步：坚持。不管有多艰难，永远不言放弃。
