Successful people always have clear goals. Great musicians, great athletes, successful salespeople and inspiring leaders know what they want in life, and they go after it. No one becomes successful by accident!

And yet, a lot of young people that I know just live their lives with no goals at all, or with only vague dreams, hopes and wishes. No wonder they have achieved so much less than they could!

For those who have not yet experienced the joy of setting and achieving magnificent goals, here is a powerful set of principles that have worked for thousands of my clients. They will work for you, too. I call them “Four Steps to Successful Goal-Setting”:

1. Decide what you want. Choose the life you prefer! You can?t have everything in life. But

you can have anything you choose if you will focus, pay the price, and pursue it with all your heart.

2. Make clear your values. Too often, people choose goals that are inconsistent with their

priorities and daily behavior. Do you value health, or comfort? Is financial independence a priority, or merely a wish? Make sure that your goals are consistent with your most important values.

3. Write them down. Have the courage to put your intentions on paper and in your own

words. Be specific and describe your goals in detail. When will you achieve them? What will success look like? Write down the details and read your goals every day.

4. Take action. To run a marathon, you must jog every day. A loving marriage or happy

kids require your time, your attention and your love, every day. Your daily actions need not be profound or extraordinary, but they must be consistent and persistent.

Success does not “just happen”. Just as an artist will make preliminary sketches and work out the details in his mind, so your success requires written goals, careful choices, clear commitments and daily persistence. You can do this. Make something great of your life!

Section A Discovering the Main Ideas

Exercise 1 Answer the following questions with the information contained in Text A. 1 2 3 4 5

What is the main idea of the essay? What is the author?s attitude towards fame?

What does an artist have to do to stay famous according to the author? What excuses do people give to defend failures? Why do people chase fame according to the author?

6 Can a person be famous and remain true to himself at the same time according to the author? ▇ Answers for reference:

1 In this essay, the author talks about the issue of fame. The main idea is that most people want

fame because fame can bring them celebrity, high regard, admiration, etc. However, the author emphasizes that there are few people who can really capture fame and that fame is usually short-lived. Fame can affect and sometimes even destroy one?s life.

2 The author takes an objective attitude towards fame with an emphasis on its negative side. He

believes that fame rewards one with money, power and popularity, but it may also enslave him and destroy his life.

3 According to the author, to stay famous, an artist has to perform in the style that the public

wants and enjoys, no matter how bored he is of performing in the same style year after year. Any attempt to change the style may result in the loss of his popularity among his fans.

4 To find excuses for the failures, people tend to claim that they are too sensitive, that they are

not interested in money, that they are not interested in the power that fame brings and that they are not interested in the loss of privacy it demands, etc.

5 According to the author, people chase fame because they want to demonstrate excellence in

some field; to gain the admiration and love of many others; to be the one everyone talks about; to show family and friends that they are more than their family and friends thought they were.

6 Probably not. According to the author, fame takes “the you out of you”, which means that

once a person becomes famous, he must be what the public thinks he is, not what he really is or could be. Fame enslaves him with what the public wants, instead of helping him maintain and develop his own identity or his true self.

Exercise 2 Text A can be divided into four parts with the paragraph number(s) of each part provided as follows. Write down the main idea of each part. ference: Part Paragraph(s) Main Ideas Fame enslaves the person who pursues it because when he becomes famous, he will not only attract the public?s attention, but also has to work and live in One 1-2line with the public?s expectations. He then becomes the slave of his own success. For those who look for fame, failure is not necessarily a bad thing, especially Two 3-4 for those who fail to perform well enough, because people tend to be more tolerant towards and sympathetic with them. Though fame brings disadvantages to those who achieve it, people still seek Three 5 fame for various reasons. Four 6 It is better to take a critical attitude towards fame.
