What does success mean? Is it becoming famous, rich, coming up with an idea that changes people’s lives, or helping others and feeling happy?

For example, there are many people who have a billion dollars. Are they successful? Why don’t they stop trying to make more because there will never be enough. They will never be happy enough.

If all that you’re working for is money, you’ll do terrible things to get it. If all that you want is a successful business, you’ll cheat people to get it. If all that you want is fame(名聲), you’ll give up your dignity to achieve it.

What’s the real success? For me, being rich or famous is not all to life. I might have a lot of readers now on Zen Habits, but I don't feel that’s what makes me a success. I’ve been a success even when I had no readers, because I was doing what I loved. Even when no one else would have called me a successful man, I loved writing, and I was happy. Success isn’t about achieving something in the future, but about doing something right now that you love.

So forget about success, and just find joy and love right now, in this moment. That is a success you can achieve, without any method. Just go out and do it.

1.Some people don’t stop making money because _____

A. They want to change their lives.

Many people like to travel by plane because it is fast, but I don’t like it because an airport is usually far from the city. You have to get there early and wait for hours for the plane to take off and it is often late. You can’t open the windows. You can’t choose the food. Planes are fast, but they still take hours to get out of the airport and into the city.

I like traveling by train . I think trains are safe. Railway stations are usually in cities. When you are late for a train, you can catch another one. You can walk around in the train and open the windows. You can see many interesting things on your way. I know it takes a little more time.

I also like cars. You can start your journey when you want to , and you don’t need to get to a railway station or a bus stop. Also you can carry many things with you in a car. But sometimes there are too many cars on the road.
