1. Perseverance
Of all the advantageous characteristics to have， I think that perseverance plays the greatest role in one's success. Other characteristics， such as intelligence， confidence， and honesty， are no doubt important， but they do not necessarily guarantee success. Perseverance offers no guarantees either， but I believe that this trait offers one more opportunity to succeed. There are several reasons why perseverance often leads to success. First of all， a man who has perseverance does not give up after a failure. He tries again and can， therefore， learn from his mistakes. Second， a persistent person is usually a hard worker， and hard work is an important ingredient in success. Last， with perseverance comes a certain amount of confidence - the confidence that one will eventually succeed. For all of these reasons， I believe that perseverance is the most important characteristic to have. It is easily combined with other traits such as diligence and confidence to increase the chances of success. However， without perseverance， one's success may be more dependent on luck than anything else.
參考譯文：毅力
我認(rèn)為一個(gè)人能否成功，毅力在所有的優(yōu)點(diǎn)中扮演了最重要的角色。雖然其他的特點(diǎn)，比如聰明才智、信心和誠實(shí)都無疑很重要，但是并不能保證一定能使人成功。雖然有毅力也無法保證能成功，但是我相信這個(gè)特質(zhì)會讓人有更多的成功的機(jī)會。
有毅力就容易成功的原因有好幾個(gè)。首先，有毅力的人在失敗之后不會放棄。他們會再試一次，因此就能從錯(cuò)誤中學(xué)習(xí)。其次，不屈不撓的人通常都十分努力，而努力就是成功的重要因素。最后，有毅力就會產(chǎn)生一定程度的信心——相信自己終究會成功。
基于這些原因，我認(rèn)為毅力是必須擁有的最重要的特質(zhì)。毅力很容易就能和其他特點(diǎn)相結(jié)合，比如勤勉與信心，這樣便能增加成功的機(jī)會。然而，如果沒有毅力，一個(gè)人的成功可能就會需要多靠運(yùn)氣，而不是其他的特質(zhì)。
