One can never fully today while thinking too much about past successes, either. People never while resting comfortably on their laurels (荣誉). The is that sometimes our successes hold us back more than our failures!

He he was racing those cars around a great track, which in was an imaginary circle around a golden statue. The small statue the boy played with was actually the Oscar Clark Gable for his performance in the 1934 movie It Happened One Night.

In a world where comparisons happen non-stop, it is difficult to look outside yourself and to ever be 46 with who you are. There’s always someone who’s a bit 47 . The only solution is to reach 48 and measure against what Warren Buffett calls your own inner yardstick. There is no more 49 measure for comparison than who your were yesterday, last week or last decade, when you were at your 50 .
Nothing useful ever comes from comparison to others. Either you see yourself as better than someone and you get 51 , or you see someone else as better than you and you feel like all your hard work is for 52 . It is a fool’s game. Not one of us is exactly 53 . The only direct and honest comparison is 54 yourself. Everything else is apples to oranges.
My opinion is that you are only 55 to compare yourself to someone else if their life 56 is the same as your own. Good luck finding that 57 . And one thing is for sure. No matter how hard you work and how dedicated(埋头苦干的)you are, there will always be someone who can run a little faster, jump a little higher, score a little better or look a little nicer in a swimsuit. And if there’s not, you can 58 someone is coming up fast 59 you. So how can you always win in life? Become your best 60 .
Having an image of your most recent past limits is the perfect thing to 61 you to the next level. If you ran 7 flights of stairs yesterday, then do 8 today. Who 62 if the guy next to you did 15? It doesn’t make a bit of 63 . You are a more 64 person today than you were yesterday. Your own 65 is all you need.

Author Napoleon Hill said, “____ is the starting point of all achievement, not a hope, not a wish, ____ a strong desire which transcends (超越) everything.” He is really ____ a deep thirst.
Alan C. Elliott tells in his book A Daily Does of the American Dream about a five-year study that was undertaken to ____ what made some people extraordinarily successful. The study consisted of detailed research into the ____ of 120 of the nation’s top artists, athletes, and scholars.
He reports that the researcher was ____ to find that natural abilities played only a small part in the ____ of those individuals. But research found that they ____ a powerful thirst to succeed. They practiced the piano four hours every day, ___ well before school in the morning to practice swimming or running, or spent much time ____ (time they could have spent hanging out with friends) working on science projects or painting.
Parental support was also a key factor. ____ of these extraordinarily thirsty young people helped out, ____ their children to great ideas and influential persons.
