成功是过程，而不是终点

Suess Is a Journey, Not a Destation

Listen to the article,and then try to ahe follog questions.

1. What’s author’s w of life?

2. Why is it iportant to follow this w of life?

It is very iportant to have a w of life to base your life on. A w of life that ans a lot tois: sucess is a journey, not a destation. It ans that what atters is not necessarily where you are at the end, but what you aoplish while you are tryg along the way. It ans that no atter what, as long as you try, you ever fail. It ans youlearn fro your istakes and ntue on thejourney a little wiser.

One person I believe that shares y w of life is Mark McGwire. He didn’t get caught upthe ho-run chasethe 1998 season, but stead pyed every gathe best way he uld. And, ost of the ti, he helped his tea. He didn’t jt go out there and hit ho runs becae he wao be aheadthe end, but becae he wao ake it a good season for his teaates and hi.

I also thk the l999-2000 St. Louis Ras as a whole are utilizg y w of life. They py every ga with their full potential stead of lettg a few ng gas go to their heads. They stay foced on pygthe Super Bowl. They know that even if they don’t go all the way, they still will be suessful becae they have had a good journey. Even though they lost so gas, they didn’t give up.

It does not atter if you do not have the ability to be onthe end, tothe chapionship; all that atters is that you worked hard the whole ti. There are a few peoplethe world who already uand what it ans. They uand that suess is a journey, not a destation. But wouldn’t it be a uch better world if everyone did, if everyone would realize that soone willand soone will lose, but what’s iportant is that both sides o try their best? After all, it’s not who s or loses, but how well you py the ga, and I hope I have applied thisy own life.

生活中有“人生法则”作基础是极其重要的，给我带来极大影响的一条“人生法则”就是：成功是过程，不是终点。它意味着重要的不是你最终到达哪里，而是你在这一旅程中努力做了些什么；意味着不管你做了什么，只要努力了，就一定不会失败；还意味着你能从错误中吸取经验教训，以便更好地继续下一段旅程。

我相信一定会有一个人同意我的“人生法则”，那就是马克·麦戈维尔。在1998年的赛季中，他虽然没有打完全场，但每一场球赛他都竭尽全力了，并且大多数时间他都在帮助队友们。他并非一心为了取胜才去参加比赛，只是因为他希望这个赛季能够成为自己和队友们的一个好的赛季。

与此同时，我认为在1999—2000年比赛期间，圣路易·拉姆斯在整体上也遵循了我的“人生法则”。他们在每一场比赛中都充分发挥，而不是赢了几场比赛就被胜利冲昏了头脑。他们在超级杯比赛时全力以赴。他们明白即使不能走完全程，他们也是成功的，因为他们经历

了一个精彩的过程。尽管输了几场球赛，但他们从未放弃。

假如你最终没能登上成功的峰顶，取得胜利的桂冠，那又何妨，重要的是你一直都在努力。世界上只有极少数人懂得这个道理——成功是过程，不是终点。假如所有人都明白这个道理，大家都意识到有人会成功，也有人会失败，最为重要的是两者都尽了他们最大的努力，那么我们的世界将会是多么美好啊！毕竟，重要的不是输或赢，而是我们在比赛中努力了。我希望在生活中，我就是这样做的。

心灵小语

诚信而又有心智的人注重过程，并不太看重结果。相信滴水穿石，来得容易走得快。结果容易变化，太多因素会影响结果的稳定性。你有一个梦，是你想要的结果，可不知道你能否实现它，但你还是要执著地为梦想而奋斗。你很幸运，有一天，你的梦变成了现实，也就是你得到了你想要的结果。在当天或者第二天，你发现那结果给你带来了很多麻烦，你需要花费更多的精力也许你的余生去处理那些后果。
