ESSAY: SUCCESS

(Revised by Sharon)

Everyone, who lives in the world, enjoys success. They want to be successful even if it is only a dream. In order to be successful, they must work hard. Some people even do unethical things for their success. Some people sacrifice the respect of humans, even become a criminal. But, what is success? What kind of people can be regarded as successful? It must be answered by a successful man! According to my succeed experience, it is: Success is many more things than just money or wealthy. It includes a healthy body, a harmonious family, and an important higher level social position.


A successful person must have a healthy body! It is compulsory and prerequisite. If he needs to take more medicine or inject medicine every day, although he has a lot of money, he couldn't feel happiness at all. Zhaogang, a former leader of the Bank of Communication, Harbin branch, China, has had diabetes for two dozens years. Although many staffs give him brides, the time that he lives in hospital is more than the time that he lives at home. How miserable he is. He would rather to have a healthy body than having money.

Secondly, a successful person must have a harmonious family. The harmonious family is as follow: healthy parents, loyal spouse, upright children. Zhaogang fails in these area. His wife has several adulterers because of his illness, he has Erectile Dysfunction for nearly 20 years. His daughter, nobody knows if she is of his descent, doesn't study well and can't be enrolled by any University or College even spent much more money. She is involved drugs and abortion. There are many scandals with his family. He couldn't think he is successful.

Thirdly, a successful one must have an important higher level social position. As above, Zhaogang receives much more money from staff before he promotes them. His wife and daughter always make scandals. He has the worst portrait in the public eye. The citizens of Harbin, who know him, all treat him as despicable. Although he has been the manager of a bank, although he has had many toadies around him, he has no position in the society.


All in all, everyone has his standard of success. Maybe, people will disagree. People have different opinion. I still want to say that success is many more things than just money or wealthy. It includes a healthy body, a harmonious family and a higher social position. They are the most important elements for a successful man.
