[00:12.96]Listening 1
[00:15.88]Exercise 1
[00:19.62]Directions:
[00:22.86]Listen to the dialogue and note down the important information.
[00:28.80]Compare your notes with your group members,
[00:32.90]pool all your notes together and try to get all the important information.
[00:40.32]How Do You Succeed
[00:44.03]I:Dr Smith, you're a sociologist who has studied success.
[00:50.51]What do you think are the most important factors in success?
[00:56.02]S:Obviously no matter what field you're in, you have to have energy and ambition.
[01:03.22]I:Do you also have to have a lot of natural talent?
[01:08.83]S:Not necessarily.
[01:12.86]Research has shown that the people who get to the top
[01:17.98]aren't always the ones who have the most natural talent.
[01:22.69]But they are the ones who work really hard.
[01:27.52]I:So, is success just a question of hard work?
[01:33.31]S:No, it is more than hard work. It has to be very concentrated or focused hard work.
[01:41.56]In other words, you have to work effectively and you have to be very motivated.
[01:47.96]It's also a question of attitude.
[01:52.32]I:Could you explain what you mean?
[01:56.46]S:Well, if you think that work is a form of punishment,
[02:02.80]you'll never achieve your goals.
[02:06.61]You have to accept the difficult and painful moments in a positive manner.
[02:12.95]I:Can you give an example?
[02:17.12]S:Yes, of course.
[02:20.76]There are many people who have so much will and determination
[02:26.27]that they are not discouraged by difficulties.
[02:31.20]When she was in middle school, Condoleezza Rice, for example,
[02:37.39]was told that her scores on aptitude tests
[02:41.86]showed that she probably wouldn't do well in university.
[02:46.90]But that didn't discourage her.
[02:50.78]Inspired by her hardworking grandfather,
[02:55.68]she put so much energy into her studies that she entered university at 15
[03:01.76]and graduated at 19.
[03:06.01]Today she is the head of a college in Stanford University.
[03:11.95]She is the first woman and the first African-American
[03:17.53]to fill that prestigious position.
[03:21.35]I:She is certainly an inspiration and an example of courage and self-discipline.
