　　英语四级听力美文第58篇:The Success Personality

　　Is there a "success personality"—some winning combination of qualities that leads almostinevitably to achievement? If so, exactly what is that secret success formula, and cananyone develop it?

　　At the Gallop Organization we recently focused in depth on success, probing the attitudes of 1500 prominent people selected at random from who's who in America. Our research findsout a number of qualities that occur regularly among top achievers. Here is one of the mostimportant, that is common sense.

　　Common sense is the most prevailing quality possessed by our respondents. Seventy-ninepercent award themselves a top score in this quality. And 61 percent say that common sensewas very important in contributing to their success.

　　To most, common sense means the ability to present sound, practical judgments on everydayaffairs. To do this, one has to sweep aside extra ideas and get right to the core of whatmatters. A Texas oil and gas businessman puts it this way: "The key ability for success issimplifying. In conduction of meeting and dealing with industry reducing a complex problemto the simplest term is highly important."

　　Is common sense a quality a person is born with, or can you do something to increase it? Theoil man's answer is that common sense can definitely be developed. He attributes his tolearning how to debate in school. Another way to increase your store of common sense is toobserve it in others, learning from their—and your own—mistakes.

　　Besides common sense, there are many other factors that influence success: knowing your field, self-reliance, intelligence, the ability to get things done, leadership, creativity, relationshipswith others, and of course, luck. But common sense stands out. If you develop these qualities, you'll succeed. And you might even find yourself listed in who's who someday.
