"Could you please leave me alone？" I snapped （怒气冲冲地说）.

I'm sure many people are working hard for a lot of money，a big house，a new car，expensive clothes and so on．Those are considered to be symbols of （46） on the material level．When I was young，I was also （47） reaching for material success．So I chose a job as a salesman and I did make some pretty good money．
But later I realized that was not what I wanted，because I was often forced to sell products that might not be good for customers．I become very unhappy （48） I could make a lot of money．I no longer felt proud of my job and even （49） myself for doing things like that．So I （50） my job and took another job，this time helping people（51） the poor and the weak．The sense of belonging was great and suddenly I felt successful in my life again，I made less money but I was （52） with myself．
For my own past，success comes from the feeling of satisfaction and joy．I feel successful when I love what I do，not caring so much about （53） ．And I feel the most successful when I （54） my kindness everywhere go．
So，be （55） to yourself：learn to listen to the voice from the bottom of your heart．And find your own way with a happy heart to achieve your own success．
