➢ Read the text: “What makes people successful?” and answer the questions.
What makes people successful?
Who do you think is the most successful? Who do you think is the least successful?
Everyone has a different definition for success. Many people give success a great value on
achievements, or on reaching goals. Others associate success with material goods, measuring it by
how much a person can acquire. Others measure success by how much they can contribute to the well-
being of their families, or to the community and society in general. There are many other definitions,
but most people think success is associated with becoming rich, famous, and respected at work.
A definition for success could be simply feeling satisfied with life. For many people, a successful person
is someone who feels that his or her work and life in general offer a high degree of satisfactions.
However, how does a person reach this feeling of satisfaction with life? Apparently, successful people
consistently do two things:
✓ They use their natural abilities in their work. ✓ They set career and life goals.
In other words, successful people choose careers where they can use their natural abilities or do what
comes naturally to them. For example, successful teachers are people who know how to help people
learn, and the best doctors are those who know how to listen to people.
Successful people know where they are starting from, and what direction they want to give their lives,
even if it is something as simple and wonderful as raising a happy family.
What are your natural abilities? What are your career and life goals? If you can answer these questions,
you are on your way to having a successful career and life.

achievements-goals-material goods
contribution to the family/community/society
