Everyone owns many personal characteristics that some are born with and some are formed in daily life. But what characteristics help us be successful? In my opinion, there’re confidence, diligence, talent and curiosity.
每个人都有很多天生的特点，而有些则是在日常生活中形成的。但是什么样的性格可以帮助我们取得成功呢？在我看来，是自信，勤奋，天赋和好奇心。
Confidence is the half of success. The proverb is suitable for any of us. We should be confident in ourselves because nobody will believe us if we don’t believe ourselves. From primary school to college, confidence always is the first important thing that our teachers stress. Confidence is the first step to conquer difficulties. Sometimes we don’t need to care much about the results, what we should do is to be confident to start unknown and difficult career.
自信是成功的一半。这句谚语对我们任何人都适用。我们应该对自己有信心，因为如果我们自己都不相信自己的话，没有人会相信我们。从小学到大学，我们老师总是强调自信是最重要的。自信是战胜困难的第一步。有时我们并不在乎结果，我们所要做的是有信心去开始未知的和困难的事业。
Diligent comes first when it comes to success. A famous person told us” Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration”. We can know how important the hard work is from the sentence. Edison was not successful before, but he tried and tried again. Finally his efforts were rewarded. He became successful because of his diligence.
谈及成功的时候勤奋是最重要的。一个名人告诉我们，“天才是百分之一的灵感加上百分之九十九的汗水”。从这句话中我们可以了解到勤奋是多么的重要。爱迪生之前一直没有成功，但他还是一次次地尝试。最后，他的努力得到了回报。因为他的勤奋，他成功了。
Many of us think that talent is nothing to do with achievement, while I hold the other side. Certain person has certain talent. The nature gives us some talent, so we should develop it. Talent pluses diligent make success.
许多人都认为天才跟成就是没有任何关系的，而我则持相反的观点。有些人有一定的天赋。大自然给了我们一些天赋，所以我们应该将它发展。天赋加勤奋造就成功。
The last characteristic is curiosity. Newton discovered the law of universal gravitation because he is curious about why apple fall to the ground. Then he did many researches to prove his suppose. Finally he found the great gravitation law. That’s a big success to him. From an ordinary phenomenon to a great discovery, curiosity is the important connection. People who are curious always can touch discovery.
