Everyoneowns many personal characteristics that some are born with and some are formedin 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。

Confidenceis the half of success. The proverb is suitable for any of us. We should beconfident in ourselves because nobody will believe us if we don’t believeourselves. From primary school to college, confidence always is the firstimportant thing that our teachers stress. Confidence is the first step toconquer 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。

Diligentcomes first when it comes to success. A famous person told us” Genius is onepercent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration”. We can know howimportant the hard work is from the sentence. Edison was not successful before,but he tried and tried again. Finally his efforts were rewarded. He becamesuccessful 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。

Manyof us think that talent is nothing to do with achievement, while I hold theother side.  Certain person has certaintalent. 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。

Thelast characteristic is curiosity. Newton discovered the law of universalgravitation because he is curious about why apple fall to the ground.  Then he did many researches to prove hissuppose.  Finally he found the greatgravitation law. That’s a big success to him. From an ordinary phenomenon to agreat discovery, curiosity is the important connection. People who are curiousalways can touch discovery.

最后一个个性是好奇心。牛顿发现了万有引力定律是因为他好奇为什么苹果会落地。然后他做了很多研究来证明他的假设。最后他发现了伟大的引力定律。对他来说是很大的成功。从一个普通的现象到一个伟大的发现，好奇心是重要的连接。好奇的人总是可以有所发现。

Inconclusion, different personal characteristics lead to different successfulpeople. As far as I know, confidence, diligence, talent and curiosity are somecharacteristics that most successful people have. 

总之，不同个人特点导致了不同的成功人士。据我所知，自信，勤奋，天赋和好奇心是最成功的人拥有的一些特性。
