1．There are no secrets of success .Success is doing the things you know you should do .Success is not doing thethings you know you should not do .

2．Success is not limited to any onearea of your life . It encompasses all of the facets of your relationships : asparent , as wife or husband , as citizen , neighbor , worker , and all of theothers .

3．Success is not confined to any onepart of your personality but is related to the development of all the parts :body , mind , heart and spirit . It is making the most of your total self .

4．Success is discovering your besttalents , skills , and abilities and applying them where they will make themost effective contribution to your fellow men .

5．Success is focusing the full powerof all you are on what you have a burning desire to achieve .

6．Success is ninety － nine percent mental attitude . Itcalls for love , joy , optimism , confidence , serenity , poise , faith ,courage , cheerful ness , imagination , initiative , tolerance , honesty ,patience , and enthusiasm .

7．Success is not arriving at thesummit of a mountain as a final destination . It is a continuing upward spiralof progress . It is a perpetual growth .

8．Success is having the courage tomeet failure without being defeated . It is refusing to let present lossinterfere with your long － range goal .

9．Success is accepting the challengeof the difficult . In the inspiring words of Phillips Brooks : ＂Do not pray for tasks equal to yourpowers . Pray for powers equal your tasks . Then the doing of your work shallbe no miracle , but you shall be the miracle .＂

不同事俗对“成功”所做事功上的注解，作者从更深更广的精神层面阐述了自己对“成功”别具一格的理解，读起来令人豁然开朗。

1．成功没有秘密。成功就是去做你认为该做的事。成功绝非去做你知道不该做的事。

2．成功不应局限于生活的某一领域。它应体现于你社会生活的各个方面：作为父母，作为妻子或丈夫，作为公民、邻居、工作人员和所有其它方面。

3．成功不应局限于人格身心的某一方面，而应涉及其全面的发展：身体、思维、心灵和精神。它是你全部身心的最高表现。

4．成功是使你卓越的才智、技艺和能力的开发，并运用他们为人们做出最有效的贡献。

5．成功是聚精会神于你乐此不疲的事业上。

6．成功的百分之九十九是健康的心态。它需要爱心、喜悦、乐观、自信、沉着、稳重、信念、勇气、兴致、想像、创新、宽容、求实、谦虚、忍耐和热情。

7．成功并不以到达某个山峰为最终目标。它是一个不断盘旋上升的过程，它是永远地进取。

8．成功是百折不挠。绝不因暂时的挫折而放弃远大的目标。

9．成功是勇于接受困难的挑战。菲力普·布鲁克令人鼓舞的名言是：“不要乞求得到力所能及的工作，而要为得到完成任务和使命的能力而祈祷。那么工作本身不会成为奇迹，而你自己却会成为奇迹。”
