If you want to succeed, there is no choice but to work hard. It is the only way to succeed.

       Once a young man wanted to be rich. He ran to ask a successful building contractor (承包商), “How could I become as ________ as you when I grow up?”

       The contractor replied, “There is a ________ about three workers. The first worker liked holding a spade (铁锹) without doing anything but saying that he wanted to be an ________ and successful boss in the future. The second one always liked complaining (抱怨) about the work and low salary. The third one liked quietly devoting himself to (全身心投入) digging. Later, only the third one became a ________. Do you understand the moral of the story?”

       The young man was puzzled. So he asked the contractor about the reasons. The contractor _______ the working builders over there and replied, “The workers in the story are like my workers. Look at my workers! I can’t remember all their names because most of them ________ blue shirts. But if you look ________, you will notice the man in red. He seems to be working harder than others. He is always the first one to come ________ the last one to leave. Soon he will be chosen to be my assistant (助手). You know, that is also how I got where I am now. I worked hard every day. My boss ________ me. And I am successful now.”

       Success can only _________ action. Working hard is all winners’ shared experience for achieving their dreams.
