How Did They Make It?
What’s the key to success? We all want to know!
So, we asked a couple of people who have made it to the top of their chosen
professions what they think is the secret.
Ben Salter, winner of two Olympic gold medals
for running:
How did I make it to the top? If I had a pound for every
time I’ve been asked this question, I’d be really wealthy. If I could give a
simple answer, I would be even wealthier! My success has been in athletics.
People often wonder whether it is down to my genes. (1) ___ Or is it
because I started training at a young age? To be honest, I think my own success
has been a result of a combination of factors. I have parents who are keen on
sports and encouraged me to take up running quite early on. (2) ___ Not
because I had to, but because I loved it. That’s what they gave me – a love for
the sport, and that was very important. However, when you start talking about
success itself, it’s important to remember that there are a lot of talented
sportsmen out there, particularly runners. So why did I make it to the top over
those other excellent sportsmen who were no doubt equally as dedicated as I
was? That’s where I think luck comes into play. And my luck was living in an
area which had a magnificent sports club that offered free coaching to children
who showed promise. My parents could never have afforded to pay a top coach to
train me. (3) ___ As it was, I received coaching from one of the
best coaches in the country. He inspired me to push myself to the limits. Quite
honestly I can say that without him, I would never have made it right to the
top. Thanks Mac!
Dave Myers, entrepreneur:
You know, some people can have all the talent in the world
and never really get the success they deserve. In my opinion, to be successful,
particularly in the business world, what is really required is determination
and perseverance. If you’re a young entrepreneur like I was, you have to have a
goal and then really work towards it. (4) ___ You need to come back
from a failure, fighting. That’s where the perseverance comes in. Don’t give
up! In my case, I knew very early on that I wanted to have my own online
business and so, even when I was still at school, I’d get up early and put in
an hour’s work on the computer before a day’s studying. In the evening I’d be
on the computer again. (5) ___ And it certainly wasn’t plain sailing. There
were many times when things went wrong and I was tempted to change track. In
the end, however, all the hard work paid off and my business has done extremely
well. Some people have said that my success is down to my having a gift for
spotting lucrative deals, or, as my mother maintains, the ability to persuade
anyone to do anything! But I definitely believe that in the end, what gives you
that extra edge is working hard and never losing sight of your goal.
A I used every
spare minute I had.
B Being good at
something isn’t enough on its own.
C It’s not easy
because you have to take chances and there are a lot of disappointments along
the way.
D The cost was
way out of their league.
E I remember
training regularly from about the age of six.
F Did my talent
come from my parents?
