Do you know what elements (要素) make people successful? Interviews and investigations indicate that there are several keys to success that successful people share 
First of all, successful people never blame someone or something outside of themselves for their failure. They realize that their future lies in their own hands. They understand that they cannot control some things in life, such as nature, the past and other people. But in the meantime, they are well aware that they can control their own thoughts and actions. They take responsibility for their life and regard this as one of the most empowering things they can do. Perhaps what most separate successful people from others is that they live their life "on purpose" — they are doing what they believe they are put here to do. In their opinion, having a purpose in their life is the most important element that enables them to become fully functioning people. They hold that when they live their life on purpose, their main concern is to do the job right. Because of their commitment (投身；献身), people are willing to do business with them, and it is always found in them.
To live their life on purpose, successful people find a cause they believe in and create a business around it. Besides, they never easily give up. Once they have set up goals in their life, they are willing to do whatever it takes to achieve their goals. Instead of seeing it negatively or depressingly, they use the knowledge to spur (激励) themselves on and go after what they want energetically and passionately.
The year I turned fifty, I resolved to do something new every day. However, balancing 365 new things with work and family, while still managing to do the laundry and get dinner on the table every night, was not always easy. In the early weeks of the project, I found it difficult to find so many new things.
It wasn't long before my friends learned that I was open to almost anything I could consider a new thing, and the invitations began pouring in not just from friends, but friends of friends. As a result, my life was new. I went dog sledding. I attended a Fashion Week fashion show. I went to numerous lectures on all kinds of topics that I never would have previously considered useful or interesting and found something to appreciate in every single one. I even signed up immediately when learning about a local group trying to get into the Guinness Book of World Records by doing something unusual.
As time went by, whenever I learned about something that seemed remarkable, I did what I could to pursue it. Instead of "Why", I began to ask "Why not". Now I find it is easier to just keep my eyes open to the possibilities that surrounded me. It turns out that there were new things everywhere, and all I had to do was make a little effort to enjoy them.
I look back on the year. It doesn't matter to me that many of my "new things" weren't exactly meaningful. What matters is how to make full use of them when discovering there is an endless number of new things for me. It seemed to me an obvious sign that at fifty, my life was full of promise. I could continue to grow, stretch my wings, and learn more every day for the rest of my life. I enjoyed the idea of something new, and it gave me a reason to welcome each day as an opportunity to experience the world a little differently.
At the age of seven, while his friends were spending their allowances on things like candy and toys, Jose Adolfo Quisocola was busy saving money for basic purchases. To try to get his peers(同龄人) to do the same, the boy from Peru came up with the idea of an eco-bank, the Bartselana Student Bank, which allows kids of all ages to become financially independent while also helping the environment.
Set up in 2012, the bank is the world's first bank for kids. To become a member, a kid has to bring in at least 5 kilograms of solid waste and set a savings goal. Once accepted, all bank "partners" are required to deposit at least one additional kilogram of recyclables on a monthly basis and observe other requirements, such as attending financial education and environmental management workshops.
The waste accumulated is sold to local recycling companies, who, thanks to Jose's efforts, pay a higher-than-market rate for everything brought in by the bank members. The money received is placed in the personal account where they collect until the savings goal is reached. The account holder can then withdraw the money, or choose to leave it and continue to grow for a bigger target." At the beginning, my teachers thought I was crazy or that a child could not undertake this type of project," Jose recalls." They do not understand that we are not the future of the country but its present. Luckily, I had the support of the school headmaster and an assistant in my class. "
The boy's efforts paid off, and by 2013, the bank had over 200 members, who brought in one ton of recyclable waste. Today, the eco-bank, which now has the support of several local institutions, has ten educational centers. They are designed to teach over 3, 000 students, aged 10 to 18, to become financially independent, use their money wisely, and help the environment.
Not surprisingly, Jose's efforts have earned him several national and international awards. On November 20, 2018, Jose won Children's Climate Prize, which comes with a medal and $5, 500 in prize money and is given to a child or youth who has accomplished an extraordinary achievement for the climate or environment.
It is not as simple as opening the door and hitting the track in winter. There are a few things you can do to ensure you are getting the most out of your run, and, importantly, not doing more harm than good.
Warm up; cool down.
Your muscles need some time to warm up when it's cold, so take it easy when you set off and do a few stretches (伸展) once you're finished.
Drink water.
You might not feel hot, but that's because sweat evaporates (蒸发) more quickly into the chilly, dry air. So be sure to drink water before, during and after cold-weather workouts. A belt bottle conveniently attaches to your waist so you don't have to carry it and can have a drink whenever you feel like it.
Running in cotton is a bad idea. Wear thin, breathable layers of synthetic (合成的) clothing that help protect you from the wind and snow, but still let out heat and moisture (水分). Thirty percent of your body heat escapes through your hands and forty percent through your head. Wear a hat, or beanie (无檐小便帽), and gloves so your circulatory system can distribute warm blood to the rest of your body.
Run into the wind.
Obviously, it will be an easier passage home with some extra help from Mother Nature. But, more importantly, you won't have the wind in your face for the second half of your run, when you are more likely to be sweating and catch a chill.

A. Dress right. B. Keep warm. C. Don't go too fast, too soon. D. Start and finish in the same way. E. Don't wait to drink water until you feel thirsty. F. Head out into the wind and come home with it at your back. G. On really cold days, wear a mask or scarf over your mouth to protect your face. |
No one is born a winner. People make themselves into winners by their own1.
I learned this lesson from a(n)2many years ago. I took the head coaching job at a school in Baxley, Georgia. It was a small school with a weak football program.
It was a tradition for the school's old team to play against the3team at the end of spring practice. The old team had no coach, and they didn't even practice to4the game. Being the coach of the new team, I was excited because I knew we were going to win, but to my disappointment we were defeated. I couldn't5 I had got into such a situation. Thinking hard about it, I came to 6that my team might not be the number one team in Georgia, but they were 7me. I had to change my8about their ability and potential.
I started doing anything I could to help them build a little9. Most important, I began to treat them like winners. That summer, when the other teams enjoyed their10, we met every day and11passing and kicking the football.
Six months after suffering our defeat on the spring practice field, we won our first game and our second, and continued to12. Finally, we faced the number one team in the state. I felt that it would be a victory for us even if we lost the game. But that wasn't what happened. My boys beat the best team in Georgia, giving me one of the greatest thrills of my life!
From the experience I learned a lot about how the attitude of the leader can13the members of a team. Instead of seeing my boys as losers, I pushed and14them. I helped them to see themselves15, and they built themselves into winners.
Winners are made, not born.
