Success does not belong to a select group of individuals(个人). Success belongs to those who are willing to go after it and try their best to do what they have to do. Here are some useful practical ways for you if you want to be a success.
Desire. Desire is the strong wish to achieve a goal. Without desire you have nothing. Before you can run with desire, your goal must be plain, clear, and it must also be exciting.
Show up. Seventy percent of success in life is showing up. You can’t have a best seller, if you have never written a book. You can’t get your dream job, if you’re afraid to turn in an application. Showing up doesn’t guarantee(保证) success, but if you don’t show up, you won’t succeed.
Fail. Unless you’re willing to have a try, fail unhappily, and have another try, success won’t happen. To have success you have to do things the right way, but often the only way to do something right is to first fail at it. As Thomas J. Watson said, a simple formula（公式）for success is to double your rate of failure (失败). So welcome failure, become a student of failure, learn from failure, and soon you will succeed.
Work Harder. Everyone runs, but everyone is not willing to run for an hour every day. Success is not about doing what the common person can’t do. It’s about doing what the common person is unwilling to do. And on a deeper level, it’s about creating habits that the common person is unwilling to create. It’s the habit of doing things with excellence that causes success.
Enjoy the Journey. Success is a journey, not a destination(终点). Success is not a certain car or a certain house or a certain happy marriage. Success is the enjoyment of the journey. You have to enjoy the journey.

| C．Keeping working harder is necessary when you go after success. |
| D．Most people don’t want to spend too much time running. |

Me Before You is my favorite romance（浪漫）novel by British writer Jojo Moyes．It tells the story of Louisa Clark and William Traynor（known as Will）．At the end of the book，Will dies and leaves Louisa a lot of money．What happens next？You can find out in the book's sequel（续集）After You．

Jojo Moyes wrote After You because she wanted to give her characters from Me Before You a future．Her use of language is as descriptive（描写性的）and powerful as that in Me Before You．One special quote（引文），"Because me being here sort of means you're still here"，deeply touched me．I think this line is really emotional（有感染力的）and powerful．
