Whenever I see those successful people, I couldn't help asking how they could be that lucky. Honestly, I am very jealous of their success. While, now I feel a little embarrassed about my jealousy and I also realize that I am not qualified to criticize their success. After several contacts with successful people at my workplace, I find that it is efforts more than good luck leading to their success.

I am working in a research institute, so compared with other jobs, my job seems to be a little tedious. As a new worker, I always feel overwhelmed and don't know exactly what kind of field I should concentrate on. More than once, I suspect about my choice to work here, because the scientific work can not light my passion and interest. While, these days, I get many chances to contact with the superiors in my field, and from their words and stories, I could sense their love and insistence for scientific study. As before, I think these people are omnipotent, because they have very deep understanding and insight about any field, as if they know everything. However, I recently notice that they are not that perfect either, they would also be puzzled by some certain question, while, unlike me, they would try their best to find solutions for that question. They would engage themselves in the office all the day reading the most recent articles and research reports, sometimes even work overnight only to get more clearer understanding about something. So their success shouldn't be ascribed as they are talented or they are lucky, it should be due to their endless efforts and  long-lasting insistence.  From the bottom of my heart, I respect these people.

And from their deeds, I know if I always find excuses for myself like before, I would never succeed in my life. Seldom is there a success occuring in a sudden. So I should learn from them to be more patient, concentrated and insistent.
