What is real success? I am sure many would come up with answers like lots of money, a big house, a new car, and so on.
It has been interesting to see how my own idea of success has         through the years. When I was young, I was eagerly reaching for material success. I chose my jobs accordingly and ended up in        . Sure enough, I did earn some pretty good pay checks.
But then a different feeling started to       . I began to realize selling was not what I wanted to do all my life. After all I was often forced to sell products that did not really suit customers. All that matters is the amount of money that is made.         I became very unhappy.
I came to realize that even with big pay checks I did not feel successful. That is when my search for success turned inwards, I       sales and chose another profession–helping people. The feeling of relief and belonging was great–and suddenly I felt successful again. Even though I earned        than before, I was much more content.
Then I returned to my old love–writing.
I realized I felt most successful when I loved what I did never         the money. Then for my own         I define success by the feeling of contentment.
Always remember–you are not here to       anyone else’s life but your own. It is not your obligation (义务) to please others with your life – only yourself, because only if you are happy yourself can you         happiness to others. You cannot give what you do not have.
So be true to yourself and           your own joyful path to your own         of success.
