成功的秘訣是什么 What Is the Secret of Success

　　Once I asked my father what the secret of success was. He didn't say a word, but wrote a few words on a piece of paper and handed it to me. I looked at the paper. on it was written:A=X+Y+Z.

　　有一次我問我的爸爸成功的秘密是什么。他什么都沒說，不過在一張紙上寫了一些字人，然后把紙給了我。我看著那張紙，上面寫著A=X+Y+Z。

　　"What does it mean?"I asked.

　　“那是什么意思?”我問道

　　"A means success, ”explained my father. "X means hard, Y means good ways, and Z means you must stop talking and start to work."

　　“A的意思是成功，”爸爸解釋說“X的意思是努力，Y的意思是好的方法，Z的意思是你必須停下來說話去工作。”

　　That's right. From then on, I tried my best to be better.
