“Long long ago，there was a king who had a daughter as beautiful as a blooming /ˈbluːmɪŋ/ rose.To all the suitors /ˈsuːtə(r)/ who came to the king's palace to ask for the hand of the prince,the old king aigned [əˈsain] three tasks to be accomplished,each next to impoible.One day,into the king's palace came a handsome young prince...“ Well, you know the rest.The three tasks may be different in different versions, but the main plot is always the same, with the prince claiming the prince's hand triumphantly.And the ending is always the same,finishing with the line ”And they live happily every after.“
Why aren't we tired of something so fanciful,so unrealistic, and, I would say, so unimaginative?How can a story like that endure generations of repetition`? Because, I think, it is a typical succe story.It is highly philosophical and symbolic.By implication, we see a 4-step definition of succe: 1)a goal to be set.as represented by the beautiful prince;2)challenges to be met, as represented by the three tasks;3)the proce of surmounting difficulties, as represented by the ordeals the youth goes through;and 4)the reward of succe, as represented by the happy marriage.The story not only caters to everyone's inward yearning for succe,but also emphasizes the inseparability of the proce and the result.The reward of succe will be much amplified if the path leading towards it is treacherous,and vice versa.If a person inherits his father's millions and leads an easy life, he is not a succeful person even in material terms,because there are no difficulties involved in his achieving affluence.The term ”succe",to be sure.will not sit still for easy definition.But as I understand it, the true meaning of succe entails a combination of both the proce and the satisfactory result of an endeavor.The concept /ˈkɒnsept/概念of succe is not constant but relative because the nature of difficulty is also relative.Something you do effortlely might pose a great difficulty for a handicapped person.In acquiring the ability to do the same as you can,he or she achieve succe.That's why we greatly admire Stephen Hawking, because,though confined to a wheel chair,he has contributed greatly to the field of science.Let us return to our handsome young prince and the 4-step definition of succe.You my have noticed that the usual worldly criteria of wealth,position and fame were not mentioned as part of the story, but rather, it emphasized the proce of ove
rcoming difficulties.The ancient wisdom had already defined the meaning of succe, and this is my definition, too.Thank you.译文:成功之我见
为什么我们对如此美妙、如此不切实际,而我要说,如此缺乏想象力的东西这么乐此不疲呢?这样的故事又如何能够经历几代人的重复?我想，因为它是典型的成功的例子。故事的思想性很强，具有代表性。通过故事带给我们的启示，我们认识到了成功定义中的四个步骤;第一，目标的设定，有如故事里美丽的公主;第二，所遇到的困难和挑战，就像三大任务;第三，克服困难的过程，故事中青年经历重重难关可以作为象征;第四，就是成功的果实，如同幸福的婚姻。
这个故事不仅迎合了人们内心深处对成功的向往，也强调了过程和结果的不可分离。如果通往成功的道路崎岖曲折，那么成功的回报必然硕果累累，反之亦然。如果一个人继承了父辈的百万家产而生活得轻松富足，那么，即使在物质上，他也不能算是个成功人士，因为，他的财富并没有经过艰难困苦而获得。确切地说，“成功”这个词，不是个静态简单的定义。在我的理解中，真正意义上的成功是奋斗的过程和经历了奋斗之后赢得的满意的结果。
正常人不费力气做成的事对于一个残疾人来说也许相当困难。获得了同正常人一样的能力，这个残疾人就获得了成功。这便是我们为什么崇敬史蒂芬·霍金的原因—虽然行动不便，受到了轮椅的限制，他依然为科学界作出了巨大的贡献。
回到我们年轻英俊的王子和对“成功”的四步骤定义上吧，您也许已经注意到了财富、地位和名誉等这些世俗的标准在故事中并未提及，相反故事强调了克服重重困难的过程。古代的智慧已经对成功的意义下了定义，这也是我的定义。
谢谢!
